Not all wildlife showing up in the backyard are Bambi and Thumper, or even the neighborhood kids sneaking into the pool. Here in my neck of the woods about the scariest thing sneaking through an open door are these freakish jumping spiders or the bassett hound chasing the chihuahua.
These shots of a mountain lion looking through the door are downright bone chilling. Seeing the videos of a big cat wandering through Chicago, taking down a deer on a stealthcam and reading about another cat ambushing a mountain biker in California have a voyeuristic sense about them but this brings it home. What drew him in? Why didn’t he spook when the photographer appeared? How much is a new door and where is my gun?
More photos after the jump.
