The fourth hole of a desert golf course near Phoenix offered an unexpected obstacle and spectacle earlier this week: a mother mountain lion and her two cubs, The Arizona Republic reports.Linda and Ty Borman live on a private tract next to the Desert Mountain Golf Club's Cochise Course in Scottsdale. Monday afternoon, Ty's habit of "looking out the window in hopes of seeing something" paid off, Linda said. The big cats were lounging on the fairway of the 546-yard, par-5 hole.
She called it a "once-in-a-lifetime spectacle." He called it a " 'National Geographic' moment."
The Bormans had seen other native wildlife before -- javelinas, bobcats, coyotes, diamondback rattlesnakes -- but never mountain lions.
See it for yourself: Here's a gallery of photos that Linda took in the five minutes before the felines wandered away. (Sorry, no LOL cats.) Lucky for her the mother -- who "looked very protective" -- didn't consider her and her clicking camera a threat.
