My eye caught a dark form lying on the river
bottom. It took me a few moments to comprehend what I had stumbled upon.
Lying peacefully in the shallow waters of the river, only a few meters
from shore, was a full-grown cougar. The contrast between the serenity
of the scene I was witnessing and what must have played out here in the
cougar’s final moments made me shiver. It was the first shiver of many,
as I stripped down and waded out into the icy water to get this shot. (source)
