This elk cow was naturally killed by a mountain lion (or MLs) a couple of days ago, according to park personnel. Therefore, the park will allow the carcass to stay in place, as predators and scavengers perform their recycling behavior. Tonight at dusk, several coyotes were feasting on the carcass. RMNP.
