Summary

[edit]
Description

One in a series of seven photos:

The National Elk Refuge's Outdoor Recreation Planner witnessed a spectacular standoff between two juvenile mountain lions and five coyotes. The coyotes let the cats know they weren’t welcome in the area. The mountain lions sought safety on a buck and rail fence for over an hour while the coyotes lurked in the background.

Notice that one of the mountain lions has moved from its previous location on the fence. Three coyotes can be seen about to make a move to challenge it while the remaining mountain lion watches.
