One Bad *Ass*

Anyone see this one? A mule kicking the sh*t out of a mountain lion. Sad for the mountain lion, but it WAS self defense. That's one bad ass!!!!!

Did you read the text at the bottom of the photos? The mountain lion was already dead when the mule was tosing him around.

And he got down on his knees and just kept biting him for good measure!! Yikes!!

Poor lion...that's a really painful death.

Read the full page. The lion was already dead when the mule started on it. Do remember, though, that burros and cougars are natural enemies and burros will fight and kill or be killed, not only cougars but coyotes. A mule is a cross between a horse and a burro.

I heard somewhere that horses make great guardians for predator control.

Take a few Russian Heavy weight's ( russian breed of horse) set em on a field and they'll protect it from anything.

but not weird enough...lol

The pics are still kind of mean, they look painful if the cat was alive.

Mules and lamas are good guardians for keeping wolves and coyotes at bay. However Kuvaz and Komadors do too and they are used extensively with sheep out west. They are formidable guardians.Great pics that mule I bet would be great for endurance rides where mountain lions lurk. Mountain lions kill more people a year than sharks.

Coyotes were the deciding factor in choosing the Filas for our cattle dogs, Old Dog. Aside from the fact that they are drovers, we kinda figured that anything that was bred to take on jaguar and wild boar wouldn't be overmatched with coyotes, lol! Plus, they're far better acclimated to our environment here than one of the heavy coated guardians.

I dont even consider cayotes a threat really. They are just a nuisense.

When a dog can kill 6 of them at an age of 10 months, and not have 1 scratch

'Course you don't, Dmitri . . . you don't have cattle The coyotes here are getting dangerous though. They are getting larger and more brazen and are losing their fear of us. According to the local bounty hunter they have also been crossing with some of the large, feral dogs here and are becoming more and more dangerous all the time. I've seen a couple that, based on the size of some of the dogs I've had, probably weighed at least 70 pounds. When you consider they're typically 45 pound or so animals . . .

Thats pretty disturbing. Hopefully they wont start to cross with wolves.

In the wild, wolves will kill coyotes that cross into their territories.
