為躲避獅子 山貓爬上15米高仙人掌

　　A terrified bobcat was spotted teetering on top of a 50ft cactus after running for its life from a hungry lion。

　　He stayed there for six hours, just to make sure the lion had gone, and escaped without a scratch。

　　The mountain lion that was stalking him however just circled the base, stared upwards and growled for a few minutes before giving up and walking off。

　　The drama unfolded on the Giant Saguaro Cactus in Arizona's Sonoran Desert。

　　It is an enormous plant with two-inch spikes and is thought to be up to 300-years-old。

　　Photographer Curt Fonger, 69, captured what happened on film。

　　He said: "I was astonished that the bobcat was on such a high prickly perch。

　　In fact, the beautiful creature seemed quite content and was lying on top of the cactus. It only stood up when I got its attention."

　　Curt added: "It’s a successful story of a bobcat avoided being eaten by a mountain lion. I personally examined the base of the giant cactus after the bobcat had left. There was no hair or blood - only claw marks."

　　據(jù)英國《每日郵報》8月24日報道，有人看到一只受驚的山貓為躲避一頭饑餓獅子的追捕，竟爬上了50英尺(約15米)高仙人掌的頂端。

　　這只貓在上面呆了6個小時，直到確認(rèn)獅子已經(jīng)走遠(yuǎn)后才安然無恙的逃下來。

　　而追捕它的美洲獅只能怒視上方繞著仙人掌打轉(zhuǎn)，并且時不時咆哮兩聲，沒過幾分鐘就識趣地走開了。

　　這一戲劇性事件發(fā)生在美國亞利桑那州索諾蘭沙漠的一株巨型仙人掌上。

　　這棵巨大植物看起來已經(jīng)有300多年了，它的刺就有兩英尺(約0.6米)長。

　　69歲的攝影師柯特?方葛捕捉到了這一鏡頭。

　　他說：“仙人掌上到處都是刺，而這只山貓還蹲得這么高，我感到很驚訝。事實上，這個漂亮的小東西看起悠然自得，竟懶臥在仙人掌上，直到看到我，它才站了起來。”

　　科特補充說：“這是個關(guān)于貓從獅穴成功脫險的故事。在山貓離開后，我親自檢查了這株巨大仙人掌的底部，并沒有毛發(fā)和血跡，只有些抓痕?！?/p>
