of Elk Hunter With Mountain Lion Watching in Background-Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor: A forwarded email that includes a self
portrait taken by an elk hunter in North Dakota. It
shows a mountain lion behind the unaware man posing with the elk he
stalked and hunted.
The Truth: This is a digital manipulation
of a mountain lion pasted into the hunter's photograph. The original
image was taken from the
Camera Trap Codger web site.

A real example of the eRumor as it has
appeared on the Internet:
Guy shot a nice elk in N. Dakota, took his picture on a
