A hunter tracking an aggressive mountain lion made a startling discovery when the cat's body turned up with an extra set of teeth on top of its head, wildlife officials said.
A photo of the deformed male juvenile, bagged outside Preston, Idaho, was released Thursday by the state’s Fish and Game department.
"The mountain lion had an unusual deformity -- fully-formed teeth and what appears to be small whiskers were growing out of hard fur-covered tissue on the left side of the animal's forehead,” the department said.
