Somebody sent me pictures of a Mule attacking a Mountain Lion, here is a link. I do not know if this is true, but I had a similar experience on a trip to the highlands of Ecuador. We were riding bicycles in the mountains outside Riobamba, at about 11-12,000 feet altitude. We met an old lady with a herd of sheep and a Donkey with tied front legs. We asked her why the legs of the donkey were tied. She said the reason was to keep the donkey from running away. The most interesting part however she revealed herself. The purpose for having the Donkey come along was to protect the sheep from predators. In lieu of this experience, it is not fat fetched to believe the Mule was giving the poor Mountain Lion a lesson.
