First here's some background info on these pictures. The gentleman in these pictures works with my Uncle repairing cell phone towers. Late one night in December of 2010 he was en route to a job site on a remote road near Livingston in Sumter County, AL when this behemoth jumped off an overhanging ledge directly in front of his vehicle injuring the animal & obviously damaging the truck.
The lion was still alive but unable to move, so he contacted animal control services. They came put the cat down, measured, took samples of some sorts, & then proceeded to dispose of the animal. The man then asked if he could just keep the cat in hopes of having it mounted & they obliged.
This cat weighed 260lbs while most mature male mountain lions weigh 80 to 150 lbs. A local land owner claims to have seen this cat a week before dragging off a 320lb steer...
