Mountain Lion Killed By A Car - Throckmorton, Texas
Massive Paw From Huge Cat
Thanks to Goober Stotler for forwarding this email to the Lodge:
Near Swenson, Texas …………..
Look at what James Snipe hit with his car on county road 328 north of Swenson Texas in
Stonewall County. The lion was still alive but unable to move, so our neighbor called
Animal Control and they came and put him down. A land owner had seen this one a week before
dragging off a 320 lb steer.
A neighbor is an amateur taxidermist and he’s going to stuff him.
This one weighed 260 lbs. while most mature males mountain lions weigh 80 to 150 lbs.
We had no idea they still roamed around here!
Number of View :1386
That’s one heck of a cat. I wonder how much damage was done to the car hitting that big an animal.
Agree Charles,
The adjuster probably said “you hit what?”
