Be sure to look at the pictures at the end of this message... Unbelievable.

ONE Protective MULE!!!
This may be a first...
A couple from Montana were out riding on the range, he with his rifle and she (fortunately) with her camera. Their dogs always followed them, but on this occasion a Mountain Lion decided that he wanted to stalk the dogs (you'll see the dogs in the background watching). Very, very bad decision...
The hunter got off the mule with his rifle and decided to shoot in the air to scare away the lion, but before he could get off a shot the lion charged in and decided he wanted a piece of those dogs. With that, the mule took off and decided he wanted a piece of that lion. That's when all hell broke loose... for the lion.
As the lion approached the dogs the mule snatched him up by the tail and started whirling him around. Banging its head on the ground on every pass. Then he dropped it, stomped on it and held it to the ground by the throat. The mule then got down on his knees and bit the thing all over a couple of dozen times to make sure it was dead, than whipped it into the air again, walked back over to the couple (that were stunned in silence) and stood there ready to continue his ride.! .. as if nothing had just happened.
Fortunately even though the hunter didn't get off a shot, his wife got off these 4...

those pictures are amazing,it is wierd that the mule was not affraid of it even with it dead, i know most horse's are affraid of dead rotting animals so why wasn't he afraid of the dead mountain lion? crazy, i wouldn't want to be a dead cat with that guy around.

I have always heard donkeys are very brave and will defend their 'herd' like a preditor. Even to the point of killing dogs and new foals who 'tresspass' into their pasture. Guess that gene carries on in the mules.
