Dennis Fast > MOUNTAIN LION LOOKOUT

High vantage points are a favourite of the mountain lion. His remarkable vision will detect movement from great distances. On his lofty perch unwary prey might not even notice him till he is on their back.
Dennis Fast > MOUNTAIN LION SNARL.

The mountain lion or cougar is not the friendliest of animals. This snarl reminds me that I don't really want to be so close to one in the wild.
Dennis Fast > MOUNTAIN LION JUMP.

It was amazing to see the ease with which a mountain lion can leap in and out of trees. Like most cats in the wild, the mountain lion is wide-ranging and elusive. It's power, agility, and intense nature made every photo unique. Most published photos of mountain lions have been made in controlled situations because it is so stealthy and secretive.
Dennis Fast > THE CHASE.  

These two mountain lion cubs were barely 6 months old so they still played like kittens. Chasing each other at top speed through the snow, it was difficult to predict which way they would turn next. I finally caught the moment as they charged toward me.
Dennis Fast > WHO, ME?

The cougar, or mountain lion, has remarkably soulful eyes. When they look right at you however, they seem to be staring through you also.

Although the mountains in the background are a perfect setting for this aptly named cat, the mountain lion actually ranges throughout much of wild North America. Its habitat is shrinking, however, and increasing contact between lions and humans is causing consternation for both. Perhaps the mountains will be its lasting refuge after all.
Dennis Fast > STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!

This juvenile mountain lion and his buddy at Animals of Montana loved chasing each other in the snow. He may look a little cross here but he was actually having a great time. It was a real treat to be so close that I could make this photo with a wide-angle lens.
