Mountain goat and lion found dead on a closed road in Glacier National park. It seems they both fell to their deaths when the cougar attacked the goat far up on the cliffs out of sight and to the right. (Not sure where to post this, but I think it was is interesting)

Actually it was a Big Horn Sheep, not a Mt. Goat, that was attacked by a cougar. The pictures on the website are gruesome and not for the squeemish. But, they show a vivid story we can only imagine by looking at the aftermath.
It appears that the two animals were locked in a life and death struggle and fell to their deaths from the rock cliffs above the highway in Glacier National Park.
There are more pictures on the link, but they are not for the faint of heart. It makes me wonder how many stories of cruel reality play out in the wilds everyday, just as they do in what some still think of as civilized society.

Isn’t this quite a few years old? 6 or 7 years.

I should have looked at the photos first. This is not the one from several years back.

I watched the cruelty of nature on an eagle cam a couple of months ago.
It was so sad.
