Well, here’s something you don’t see every day—a frozen mountain lion, discovered by an angler! While most folks expect to reel in fish, stumbling across a big cat on ice is definitely an interesting twist. Mountain lions are stealthy predators that usually stick to rugged terrain, stalking deer and other prey. So, how did this feline end up in the water? It’s anyone’s guess—maybe it slipped while chasing a meal, or perhaps curiosity got the best of it. And while most house cats treat water like it’s lava, their wild cousins are known to swim if they need to. So, are all cats afraid of water? Maybe not—but this one might have wished it stayed on dry land!
