A
skunk-versus-cougar face-off was caught on film by a camera trap in Waterton
Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada.
"The
cougar was looking at the skunk like it might be lunch, and the skunk was
looking at cougar like 'you're going to regret this decision,'" said
Dennis Madsen, resource conservation manager for the park, who helps manage the
hidden cameras. "The cougar chose the path of wisdom and decided to go
elsewhere," Madsen told OurAmazingPlanet.
The
unusual encounter, snapped in March, is one of thousands of camera trap images
that reveal the hidden lives of animals in Waterton Lakes. [See
