JACKSON, Wyo. — This big cat found a comfortable spot in the forest to relax.
Buckrail photographer Nick Sulzer caught a glimpse of the lounging mountain lion outside of Teton Valley earlier this week. The lion didn’t seem too bothered, and Sulzer maintained a safe distance from the animal.
According to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, mountain lions are the most elusive of the large carnivore species in Wyoming. They can be found statewide but are rarely seen.
Check out this lion protecting a kill last winter in Grand Teton National Park.
