One mountain lion and his prey took a tumble onto some snowmobilers in South Dakota.
When Ryan Hansen and his fellow snowmobilers set out for a ride on December 27 near Spearfish, South Dakota, the only thing they expected to drop out of the sky was snow. Instead, the group was drawn into a struggle between predator and prey when a mountain lion and a terrified deer dropped off a slope and nearly onto Hansen. According to the Rapid City Journal, Hansen had to swerve to avoid the falling animals.
“You never imagine you would see a mountain lion, let alone one on the hunt and actually in the process of attacking an animal,” Hansen said.
