Mizak says he vividly recalls "the first initial hit" as the two predators squared off, up to "the crunch of the spine" when the cougar finally killed the wolf. "I relive it still," he said.

He admits he may have influenced the fight when he made a move that startled the wolf, causing it to flee. "Then the wolf decided to let go and the cougar made one leap and nailed the wolf," Mizak said.
