Thanks for sharing that. Oh my god its unbelievable how strong they are. Im not sure how people would feel about that picture being posted here as its pretty gruesome. But if anyone would like to see it ill try and have the picture emailed to me.

My reasoning is that if I had a mountain lion looking at me like that and it wasn't in a cage, camera shake would have been my primary problem. Joe
