WATCH: South Dakota Mountain Lion Almost Hit By a Car

Mountain Lions are big cats native to South Dakota. They primarily live in the perfect habitat of the Black Hills. However, some find their way into other parts of the state.

This particular cat was presumably close to home, but decidedly not close enough when it took a walk acriss the street in Rapid City, South Dakota recently..

Anytime you can drive down a street in Rapid City and encounter a mountain lion is a big deal. It's even more dramatic when that animal decides to try his luck crossing that busy city street.
