Young one? It was quite large, ~3x the size of a raven (that was scavenging it). Face and tail are interesting.

Female mountain lion in hot pursuit of white-tailed deer in the Pine Ridge of Nebraska. It’s hard to say whether she succeeded in catching one since the chase proceeds off-camera, but the odds aren’t in her favor. Mountain lions have relatively small lung capacity; their bodies are designed for ambush and short bursts of speed, not pursuing prey over long distances or for that matter outrunning pursuers with greater stamina (e.g. canines like hounds or wolves). The research I could find indicated that most successful deer pursuits ended with the cougar making contact with the deer within 10 meters of starting their pursuit.

Super frustrated about this “lifer.”
In Texas, mountain lions have no protections or regulations. If it frustrates you like it does me, check out texasnativecats.org.
