The above information was just posted by the BBC on January 10, citing officials from the Idaho Department of Fisheries and Wildlife (IDOFAG).

Accordingly, the strange lion mentioned above was shot and killed by a hunter on December 30, 2015 after attacking a dog in the town of Weston, southeastern Idaho state. The dog was lucky to survive, but the lion was unfortunately hunted down and killed by a hunter a few hours later. The Idaho State Journal said the person who shot and killed the lion reported its anomaly to authorities even though his actions were illegal.

IDOFAG officials believe that the upper teeth could be the remains of another twin lion that died in the womb, or a type of tumor. Biologists in the area have never seen any such extraordinary deformations.

As required by law, an animal conservation officer examined the animal’s corpse and discovered a strange set of teeth as well as a few whiskers growing on the left side of the animal’s head.

Mountain lions are an animal related to cats that are quite common in the state of Idaho. They are animals that quickly disappear and appear and rarely come into contact with humans.

According to the American Wildlife Federation, this cat species often lives in concentrated territories and exists in the wild.

In winter, they will descend from the mountains to avoid cold weather and gather on the outskirts of villages or towns to hunt for prey, usually deer and turkeys.

Therefore, it is inevitable that this carnivore will have unintentional encounters with humans, livestock and pets.
