Normal cats are really limber and bounce pretty well. This is just a scaled up version trying to survive. I've watched the Nat Geo specials on these cats and they're pretty damned amazing.

Pretty intense; I like how despite tumbling through the air and ping ponging off of multiple rocks it still managed to maneuver onto the throat before coming to a complete stop.

I know the film is labeled differently on YouTube, but I’m pretty sure that’s a clip from Hostile Planet. Don’t recall if that show is on Discovery or NatGeo, but it is an outstanding watch.
Here is another segment about barnacle geese’s from same show. Yowza!
Originally posted by MNSIG: I wonder if the cat may have suffered some internal injuries that will lead ultimately lead to death. I hope not, but that looked pretty rough.
The longer video states he was fine months later when they came back to check on it.

Most beautiful cat to me. High Res shots from the pro photographers are absolutely stunning. The paws are so large. Magnificent animal. Photographers say they are a bitch to find and shoot.
