Mountain lions are tenacious hunters, and often their attacks on prey amount to a war of attrition, as seen in this dramatic video shot in Colorado.
A group of men were going ice fishing, as they do every year, and this year they decided to go to the Blue Mesa Reservoir in Colorado. Every year, they say, they always joke about seeing a mountain lion, and this time they really did - in fact, they had a much more dramatic sighting than usual. As the video's uploader says, "This time guys, I'm not joking, and it's in our backyard."
One night, right outside their cabin, they were amazed to find that a mountain lion had attacked an 4-point muley buck, clamping its mouth around the front of the buck's face and refusing to let go. The mountain lion largely lets its body go slack, so that the buck, in its efforts to free itself, is forced to lift and carry the bodyweight of the mountain lion.
