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&rsquo;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. x

HOLY HELL WHAT A FIND. This is one of my favorite photos ever now.&nbsp;
