It was a cold and snowy night as the temperature dropped to below freezing. The air was cold and many of wild life were doing their best to survive the night.
The snow was hitting hard on the rocky snowy mountains and a unsuspecting prey was being watched from the distance. She was perfect Hunter, unmatched by anyone.
Her camouflage of the warm summers or to the snowy seasons, it would be too late to even suspect her.
She was licking her lips at her next meal as she was watching her pray high above of the terrain. A large horned mountain goat was eating some fresh leaves, unaware of the looming threat that was approaching.
The Hunter would continue to get closer and closer, she was staying low to the ground and with the help of her white\grayish fur she was almost impossible to see.
And she was only a few feet away from her pray and then.....she leaped across the ground! and landed successfully on her target.
She opened her mouth as wide as she can and dug her fangs in the goat's back. She was using her claws and dug them into it's skin so it wouldn't get away.
Feeling victorious, she grabbed it by it's neck and took her prize back home to her borrow.

The feline was happily eating her meal with every bite, and it was heaven for her. This was nature and sometimes your the predator...and sometimes your the pray.
Her belly was getting nice and full and she wouldn't have to worry about eating for a few days. This feline would savor this moment until she's hungry again.
After finally finishing her meal it was time to sleep through the night and wait for the next morning to come.
She yawns and curls into a ball and wraps her long bushy tail around her and begins to sleep.
"Tonight was a good hunt...." she thought to herself.
( The next morning)
It was still snowing outside but the sun was starting to break through the clouds. Our feline wasn't hungry today so she decided explore the winter mountains and see what was happening today.
What was surprising was this time she spotted humans nearby. Of course she was cautious... truth be told she actually hated humans very much. Individually these hairless apes are weak, but in numbers they were scary.
But what made her dislike humans were there obsession of killing for sport. Killing and eating should only be done to survive, and the last thing she ever want to happen was to be captured and caged.
"Humans.....they are never satisfied." She thought to herself as she saw one of them taking pictures of their recent kill. It was a lone gray Wolf that met and unfortunate end.
Rather then eat the remains the humans would plan to skin the Wolf's fur. Luckily our feline wasn't hungry, just annoyed to see fresh food being wasted.
But what made her more cautious, was the fact they had rifles. A long silver stick that looked like they could do a lot of damage and could prenatally kill.
Then another realization came into play, they weren't just regular humans just camping. No, these were poachers.
While they didn't pose a threat...yet, it would be a bad situation to get in the crosshair of these humans.
It would be best to stay out of their way, but it didn't change her opinion about hating them.
(An 1 hour later)
The Feline had been on the move and knew she was being tracked by the same humans she saw earlier today. These poachers were possibly after her, but there was one thing she had an advantage over the humans.
