A Mountain Lion and a Mountain Goat face off high on a mountain cliff in Lamar Valley, Yellowstone

I waited for 4 and a half hours until dusk for this mountain Lion to get up from his lying down position where he was completely hidden in the grass of the cave. The Mountain Goat watched him for the entire time, stomping his front leg repeatedly. Filmed on January 28th, 2024 with my Sony A7R IIIA camera with a Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS Lens and a Sony 1.4X teleconverter.
