The mountain lion had apparently suffered previous wounds, including an injury to its front right paw and scratches on its back.

The incident is still under investigation, according to CPW...

I was going to ask when the hell a shovel became an animal.

But any thread is appropriate for a Steve Inman video. The guy is a national treasure and hero.
