An amazing scene played out yesterday just before dusk at the National Elk Refuge over in Wyoming. In a standoff that lasted for more than an hour, five coyotes cornered two juvenile mountain lions, who took refuge up on a buck and rail fence.
Eventually, one of the cats climbed down and made a break for it, with the coyotes in hot pursuit. The other cat was then able to sneak quietly away.
The photographer, an employee of the park, did not interfere and no one knows how it all turned out.

I call this piece “Epic Dump”.

“If critics say your work stinks it’s because they want it to stink and they can make it stink by scaring you into conformity with their comfortable little standards. Standards so low that they can no longer be considered “dangerous” but set in place in their compartmental understandings.” - Jack Kerouac
