This Cougar shadow is a natural phenomenon that occurs twice a year in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona during the third week of March & September.

The setting sun angle against the mountain topography creates a shadow that looks like a Cougar chasing prey. The shadow is visible a few days each year, usually around 30 minutes before sunset between 5:30 and 6:00 pm.

One more thing to fight, and fight we shall 💚
