A young mutant Mountain Lion was killed near Weston, Idaho.  It has a jawbone with fully developed teeth growing out of its forehead.  The Idaho Department of Fish and Game made the pics available to the public.

The hunter who shot the cougar says he will have it stuffed.  Fish and Game biologist Zach Lockyer said “We may never know why those teeth are there.” but postulated that it could be a birth defect, a tumor called teratoma, or an unusual injury that healed wrong.
