Killer Cat Week: Lion Attack!

November 5, 2010
Mountain lions are notoriously elusive animals and to catch one on the hunt is almost unheard of.
But that's exactly what Joe Vetto did.
He was pulling his kids on an inner tube in the Columbia River in central Washington when he spotted this heard of young sheep.
Out of nowhere a mountain lion pounced out of the grass and was instantly on top of one of the sheep.
The sheep didn't have a chance.
Here the mountain lion goes in for the kill.
The lion begins dragging the sheep away from the river into the tall grass.
According to Vetto, the whole episode only lasted about 15 seconds.

While taking his kids rafting in the Columbia River, Joe Vetto captured a mountain lion hunting a herd of young sheep. Take a look at his rare action-packed photos.
