Synopsis by Hal Erickson
This episode of Walt Disney Presents details the uneasy relationship between human beings and mountain lions (and cougars, pumas, and panthers) in the Rockies. In typical Disney fashion, the story is told from the lion's viewpoint, as we follow cougar cubs Chimbica and Tawny as they learn to survive and in a treacherous terrain full of unexpected predators. Also seen, again from a animal-eye view, is a typical mountain lion hunt. "Killers of the High Country" was filmed on location in Utah.
