Yes, these cats were rescued by Fish and Wildlife. We have no idea what happened to the mother. Anybody commenting on the mother is just guessing. There has never been any report of a Mountain lion in this area that was killed or hit by a car. Since this video was filmed there was an update to the story. The three cats were cared for here in the local area of Preston Idaho. About two weeks ago they were placed in a wildlife preserve in North Carolina. The sad part of the story is that one of the Cubs had a bad reaction to the sedative and died. The other two are now in North Carolina alive and well. This has been a life changing experience for me. Not only the experience of the Cubs but meeting people who have seen the video and the conversations are so cool. Thanks to everyone who has commented and watched the video. God Bless
thanks for the update. I would have wondered if the mom had abandoned them. They looked hungry and may have already scavenged off other people... Didn't look too new to the idea.
Omg, it's tragic that one of these poor babies died!! 😢I also feel sad that they're in captivity and couldn't live in the wild. Thanks for the video, they're so beautiful 💜
Psisis mountain lions are not technically big cats. It’s why they meow and cannot roar. More closely related to a house cat than a lion. Only real big cat in the America’s is the Jaguar.
Fascinating. You instantly see how young they are and how vulnerable without their mother. So glad they were rescued. It's sad one didn't make it, but that's a better outcome than being on their own in the winter might have given them.
@@robbcabaian thanks for writing this, our vet seems like anesthesia this, sedative that, nothing dangerous. I always knew it might be bad. Now u confirmed my belief.
@@bambinaforever1402 it’s a .001% chance or something small like that. Having underlying issues increases the chance. I wouldn’t advise to never take them to the vet since that would be worse, but make sure they’re in a good physical condition before going under for any procedure

they look like they are maybe 20 kg tops each..compared to the doormat ect.it can hurt you i guess and prob kill u if it rips out your throat.but in an actual fight i dont see them beating an average adult human one on one.idk anything about the mountain lions tho
Yes, and it's a little unnerving when you meet a large, hungry male at night and you can just tell he's curious as to whether or not you taste like venison.
+Maynard Depends on how good looking she is but generally speaking, yes. If a large hungry female cougar attacked me, I'd get a pit bull trial lawyer and file a seven figure sexual harassment suit against her. And if she had kittens with her at the time, I'd try to find a good forever home that would take all of them so they could stay together.
They are absolutely mesmerizing. I’m deeply sorry all three did not make it. Eternally grateful they were given a better chance at a normal, wonderful, in the wild life. Thank you for sharing and the update.

Yeah those things would be easy prey even for these little guys. I guess they were too young to have been taught to hunt yet. Definitely would have taken them in. Pretty hard to socialize cougars at that age though.
Crusader1815 people like are you are exactly why wildlife gets shot. These babies look fine (one looks thinner because there is usually a runt and a dominant sibling) and they don't always stay with the mother. Some get curious and die while others don't... It's sad, but that is how this have always been. If you start feeding them then they'll keep coming back. Someone will report it and then they'll be shot. Educate yourself properly and respect them from afar (unless they are actually injured and are in need of wildlife rehabilitation - then contact *the professionals*).
“If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.”

Laylla's Locker, it's not about animals adapting to civilization. When you see a huge object/thing, known or unknown, going your direction at high speed, making loud noises, I think it should be on some primitive instinctive level to feel the need to move away from its path.
AWE! Scary and yet a moment these folks won't ever forget! Brave young MTN Lions! I wonder if they were seeking out help! Glad they were taken in/rescued by the Fish and Wildlife! So heartbreaking about their Momma! So beautiful!
I envy you all and others that got the Privilege to see the little cuties.am sad to hear about the one that didn't make it..but in a preserve they won't be hunted down.and they will have food..Love these Awesome big Kitties.Thank you for this video. Take care.
They are so beautiful!!! Its true that in this age theyre in a "curious phase" where they can come quite close to humans without yet being fearful or careful. The same goes with wolves. Their "curious phase" happens when they are a bit older though, right before they're weaned off from their mother they will start to venture out on their own and its not uncommon that they go quite close to human structures. Im a vet myself and live in the Arctic on Svalbard's where I study the effects climate changes have on the wildlife (starving polar bears and arctic wolves) and I meet several groups of curious teenage wolves every season. A few times Ive even experienced them climbing up and looking in my windows. These cats are of course much too young to be on their own and its lovely to hear they were rescued and re-placed somewhere safe. Although 1 died from sedation shock thats still 2 out of 3 cubs surviving. That more than the average percentage of cubs in the wild.
The mountain lions are like “let’s go to the zoo, see there is Bob recording us, to the left you have Devorah cooking some steak, then you have little Jimmy playing with his legos”. “Momma told us to run away if they ever leave their cage”.
We have had a pair of cubs that look much like these picked up on our night camera lately. We live in Arnold, CA in the Sierra Nevada Mountains at 4000 ft. Thank you for posting and telling us their story.
Have friends that live in Arnold..I love that place Stanislaus river use to go snow skiing Mt Reba bear valley the local lake in town almost bought a lot on the far end of the lake and think Spicer lake?
The cats are really beautiful. Good to know they are being looked after. Sad about the one cat that didn't make it. Thank you for this interesting video.
I think they were too young to be afraid of much. I had actually walked outside to see where they went at one point, walked around a corner and almost ran right into them. They just stood there so I walked backwards back into my home. They were very young and still in the exploration phase of being a cub or kitten.
You were lucky. Usually the mother is nearby. Had a friend that worked trucking logs out of the forest nearby, and he spotted what looked like an orphan cub. Decided to stop and pickup the poor thing, and by the time he made it back to the truck with the cub, the mother showed up, and he said she was ticked beyond belief and wanted her cub back. I asked him why he did not toss the cub out of the truck, and he said he was afraid of opening even a window, because she was most definitely not afraid of the semi. They kept the cat for a little while until fish and game found out about it, and took the cat from them. Guess it eventually made it's way to the San Diego Zoo.
yeah, they were not being ''playful exploring kittens'. they were near death starving. chances are they have not eaten in weeks. some hunter probably shot and killed, hunted the mother, and left her cubs behind to die. when cub animals are close to dying, they are most likely not going to be 'playing and exploring'. they are going to be behaving very irrational, like 'coming out into sight where they will be killed by any passing predator'.
Well, if you get them as kittens you can kinda tame them. Not sure these are young enough to fully tame, but you could at least make them easier to handle I think.
@@marhawkman303 you can't feed them though, if keep on feeding wild predators then they'll eventually see you as food, the best thing to do is to just let them be and hope they come back to visit every once in a while.
Wow, they were starving. In Oregon where my dad lives, this same scenario happened to my brother when he moved into his new house. 2 young cubs/kittens younger than these 3 show up to his back door looking malnourished. He lured them with food and called his local warden. Turns out, there was 2 mother was lions killed in 2 different scenarios. 1 was killed by a farmer protecting his animals about 5 clicks north east of his location and the 2nd was killed by his neighbor who illegally killed the lion. Thank you for your video though!
Sparx Figgy aka Monkey D. Sparx its so sad. The lions are coming down from the mountains because of wild game diminishing do to huntets and fires. Its really sad.
They look real young. Very curious just like kittens. So adorable looking. I used to volunteer and feed about 25 big cats (lions, tigers, mountain lions, leopards, one liger) back in the day this video made me miss doing that.
These are beautiful young pumas, they still have the spots of the cub. Thanks for sharing the video and the story, 2 out if 3 is better than nothing, anyway.
HELLO, thank you for rescuing these mother less Baby's". This is really unbelievable beautiful to watch this kind of Video.❤❤❤❤❤❤ Many Greetings from Germany
+redher Yes but the unfortunate reality is their mom was likely killed by a trophy hunter or a vehicle. It is good to know fish and game took them to a wildlife rescue. In British Columbia they generally euthanize orphaned cougars, hopefully this will change, like black bear cubs whom are taken to wildlife rescues for release when old enough.
redher lucky my ass ... that house shouldn’t be there .. they obviously looking for easy food ... humans are building houses in their environment which is fucking sad really
@ProseColored Glasses how ignorant you are...thats why people think its ok to kill the beautiful wild animals that share THEIR world with us....with that attitude.. The arrogance of man is typical I would trust animals over human ones any day
ProseColored Glasses : By animal law it’s our territory because we can defend our claim... But it is also true that it is their home habitat and they cannot pack and move like humans. It is precisely because of that advantage that we owe it to our planet to not wreck what wilderness remains, we are the most adaptable and we should not abuse that advantage.
These mountain lions are only cubs, and to me they look at least 3 months old. They are too young to be away from their mother. But, I appreciate what these kind people did for these cubs, getting them to somewhere where they can get better, play and grow. It is sad that one died, but at least the others survived. And living in a sanctuary will be a great experience for them. Please leave a like if you agree.
I like to cuddle every night with my bobcat. I hope to go out west some day and make friends with a mountain lion too. their so cute and cuddly I just want to kiss them on the nose....not
Thank you for this wonderful video & explanation. It would have been so hard for me to not open the door! They just sat there looking & waiting! Glad they are safe now!🙏👍🫶
john tohme - I bet they wouldn't. They do look awfully thin though. I would go out and feed them. Honestly, cougars are so much like housecats in behavior when they grow up around people, the only thing preventing their easy domestication is their size.
I bet you wouldn't risk it with your newborn 7 lb 3 oz baby girl on the way home from the hospital. I bet you wouldn't risk it James Martin. And that goes for you too Crusader1815
Orphans. I have a friend who feeds bobcats when they show up with their scrungy mom. She had no milk probably, given her low body weight. Mountain lions also may need a little help sometimes. Especially orphans.
@Chris Madison in certain cases yes they do need human help. We had a pair of foxes that were inexperienced hunters and the lack of prey items around made them get weak so we fed them daily when they came. The male got hunted down but the female gave birth to healthy cubs thanks to us. Altough interfering with nature is mostly not the right thing to do sometimes exceptions are made
You're not suppose to feed predators or any wild animal for that matter. Definitely not mountain lions. If you see signs at state parks stating not to feed bears or alligators or whatever the animal may be, it's for a reason. Once you feed them they will continue to approach humans looking for food. That's how people get attacked. I know most people think of these animals as cuddly pets, the fact is they can survive on their own and will attack at the drop of a dime.
@@butchvito In my friend's case,, the bobcat mom never came back after she got better. Well, she came once to show off her family but definitely left for good. My friend litetally saved her 3 babies from starvation.
Great post. Sorry you lost one. I gave up hunting 35 years ago. More wildlife less people. Still run around with a camera:) never got a shot like this! Thanks for this post.
Lol.... we don't initiate conversations with the magazines down here anymore tho. Recently we've been trying to increase our emphasis on the bible with less magazines... Even tho most everything they have is based on the bible.
Thanks for sharing the video as well as updates on their status. It sticks hearing of the one that didn’t make it, but at least the others are doing well.
You were so cool about them on your porch loved the video. Wish there were more people like you, most people panic. You must like animals like me. Thank you for sharing💖💖💖
I don't live in the United States but I understand that a grown up Mountain Lion is something that you don't want to run into while taking a walk in the forest, isn't that so?
You just need to be prepared. Mountain lions more often than not avoid humans so encountering them is rare. Why? They're petrified of us. Here are common solutions in escaping any injury: -Walk with at least one more person. They're less likely to display aggression or propensity for attack in non solitary groups -Don't run, as that gives into their instincts to chase -Exaggerate your appearance (stretch your arms out). Look menacing and larger. Usually they commence departing at this instance -Calmly shout (don't scream like you're Jamie Lee Curtis in "Halloween") -Avoid eye contact. Experts suggest that cougars interpret this as a dare, thus may pounce at you -Don't stand still...they may mistake you as prey as a result -Don't bend down. That makes you look like a four legged animal aka prey -Avoid getting close with them. Give a cougar that chance for escape. Most often, they'll take it and retreat -Walk backwards. If you expose your back to them, they may ambush you, given how they strike from behind -Ensure there are lights around you. They are less likely to come face to face with humans if something is illuminated -Trim any bushes so they can't hide. Often cougars conceal themselves behind obstructing features (tree, bush, sign, gate, etc.). By negating that opportunity, you face limited chance of encountering them They say you're a thousand times more likely to be struck by lightning than seeing a mountain lion. In the rare event it occurs, though, odds are they won't do anything since, again, humans scare them. Ideally you want to evade cougars in the even they're malnourished, ill or displaying habituating signs. In those instances, scaring them off usually is more difficult
Something about these cubs look more adorable than menacing than a full-grown adult cougar. So adorable and what an experience to cherish forever. Thanks for the update in the comment thread as well!

heyyyyy man i love that reference
Love cougars beautiful cats love the look of their faces.
lol those turkeys at the end of the driveway are trying not to be noticed :P
Crusader1815 ..lmao..animal does have brain but they cant think like us..humans..what do you expect from animals then??
just stand here bob.
Damn bro. SALTY!
Thats what makes turkeys so adorable coco stupid little fluff birds...
Laylla's Locker, it's not about animals adapting to civilization. When you see a huge object/thing, known or unknown, going your direction at high speed, making loud noises, I think it should be on some primitive instinctive level to feel the need to move away from its path.
AWE! Scary and yet a moment these folks won't ever forget! Brave young MTN Lions! I wonder if they were seeking out help! Glad they were taken in/rescued by the Fish and Wildlife! So heartbreaking about their Momma! So beautiful!
Why do I have the urge to hug them?
Get behind me in line. Lol
They would scratch your face off
Royal Blodline or purr and lick like a normal cat
@@golden1_1dragon12 Yeah but tehre is one problem with that y'know they are WILD ANIMALS but idk maybe thats just me
@@royalblodline9847 ur right but most likely case is they would run away. Idk those cougars look small to me. They seem to be on the young side
Beautiful. So sad about losing one of the cubs. Glad the remaining two are safe. Thank you so much for sharing.
what beautiful creatures
Awww....
They are absolutely adorable... I love watching Gods beautiful creatures!!
I envy you all and others that got the Privilege to see the little cuties.am sad to hear about the one that didn't make it..but in a preserve they won't be hunted down.and they will have food..Love these Awesome big Kitties.Thank you for this video. Take care.
All the ferocity of nature…but still curious as a house cat. I love mountain lions
What a treat to see this, I felt like I was there, that's made today better, thanks. It was brill seeing that.
"I'm doing video if you guys would be quiet" ..LOL ..thank you! That old guy's voice is loud AF
They are so beautiful!!! Its true that in this age theyre in a "curious phase" where they can come quite close to humans without yet being fearful or careful. The same goes with wolves. Their "curious phase" happens when they are a bit older though, right before they're weaned off from their mother they will start to venture out on their own and its not uncommon that they go quite close to human structures. Im a vet myself and live in the Arctic on Svalbard's where I study the effects climate changes have on the wildlife (starving polar bears and arctic wolves) and I meet several groups of curious teenage wolves every season. A few times Ive even experienced them climbing up and looking in my windows. These cats are of course much too young to be on their own and its lovely to hear they were rescued and re-placed somewhere safe. Although 1 died from sedation shock thats still 2 out of 3 cubs surviving. That more than the average percentage of cubs in the wild.
Their mother was murdered & they were deliberately orphaned then became hungry & desperate. Some "rescue" ...
Your friggin crazy dude
@@FranklinBlunt if you feel that way you should not have children and encourage anyone you know to do the same
@@ericschulze5641 you are telling the truth to an idiot
What a fascinating job you have!
The mountain lions are like “let’s go to the zoo, see there is Bob recording us, to the left you have Devorah cooking some steak, then you have little Jimmy playing with his legos”. “Momma told us to run away if they ever leave their cage”.
Amazing. I wonder if the mother ever came for them. Thanks for sharing. ☃️🎄⛄️ have a wonderful bless Christmas.
"Their not afraid at all"… They are cubs & dont know any better, YET!!
Open that door & they wouldve hauled ass...Glad they were rescued...
They're

wdym rescued? to them its kidnapping, i mean its nice we help em but they are used to that climate. its best to leave them be
Falcon they’re babies. they’re not used to Anything, they just popped out of the coochie
We have had a pair of cubs that look much like these picked up on our night camera lately. We live in Arnold, CA in the Sierra Nevada Mountains at 4000 ft. Thank you for posting and telling us their story.
Have friends that live in Arnold..I love that place Stanislaus river use to go snow skiing Mt Reba bear valley the local lake in town almost bought a lot on the far end of the lake and think Spicer lake?
Shhhhh, LOOK HOW THIN HE IS! Old people are not shooshable hahaha. Awesome video :)
Thank you for helping them that's obviously why they came up to the house they were starving and scared.. bless you for helping
The cats are really beautiful. Good to know they are being looked after. Sad about the one cat that didn't make it. Thank you for this interesting video.
"open up, we know you have food in there, humans"
I think they were too young to be afraid of much. I had actually walked outside to see where they went at one point, walked around a corner and almost ran right into them. They just stood there so I walked backwards back into my home. They were very young and still in the exploration phase of being a cub or kitten.
You were lucky. Usually the mother is nearby. Had a friend that worked trucking logs out of the forest nearby, and he spotted what looked like an orphan cub. Decided to stop and pickup the poor thing, and by the time he made it back to the truck with the cub, the mother showed up, and he said she was ticked beyond belief and wanted her cub back. I asked him why he did not toss the cub out of the truck, and he said he was afraid of opening even a window, because she was most definitely not afraid of the semi. They kept the cat for a little while until fish and game found out about it, and took the cat from them. Guess it eventually made it's way to the San Diego Zoo.
About as stupid and harmful as "rescuing" land turtles by throwing them in the ocean to drown. What an idiot.
Drue Stafford I wonder where mama was???
u shud of said ure friend STOLE!! a cub off its mother.
yeah, they were not being ''playful exploring kittens'. they were near death starving. chances are they have not eaten in weeks. some hunter probably shot and killed, hunted the mother, and left her cubs behind to die. when cub animals are close to dying, they are most likely not going to be 'playing and exploring'. they are going to be behaving very irrational, like 'coming out into sight where they will be killed by any passing predator'.
OMG, they’re the most beautiful creatures I’ve ever seen! You folks in the US are so lucky to have them! I wish we did in NZ!
Beautiful Creatures
I'm surprised they didn't try to go for the turkeys up the road.
That was my thought... you'd think they'd have noticed the turkeys before the folks at the window.
Probably because someone was feeding them
hardly old enough to hunt...
Opie G Turkeys can f you up. They probably were looking for easier prey.
turkeys are NOT to be fucked with.
They are such beautiful cats
I know they are very dangerous, but they are very beautiful animals! I can’t help but be in awe! 😊
Great video Drue and how lucky you were. Thanks for sharing.
They're basically like: So, someone told us that if we found humans they'd give us food? Feed us?
Kia Maria They are smart for such young cubs :3
or make us a rug
John Smith you racist bastard ... I’m black and I would definitely give them raw meat to eat .
Beautiful kittens.
Thank you for the video. It was amazing. Shame one of them didn't make it. All the best from Scotland
My brain: It's a dangerous predator! If you let it, you die!
Me: heehoo kitten
Well, if you get them as kittens you can kinda tame them. Not sure these are young enough to fully tame, but you could at least make them easier to handle I think.
@@marhawkman303 you can't feed them though, if keep on feeding wild predators then they'll eventually see you as food, the best thing to do is to just let them be and hope they come back to visit every once in a while.
@@iceman1287 enh... or they do like housecats.... and annoy people because they're hungry. Which is a problem because they're bigger.
Wow, they were starving. In Oregon where my dad lives, this same scenario happened to my brother when he moved into his new house. 2 young cubs/kittens younger than these 3 show up to his back door looking malnourished. He lured them with food and called his local warden. Turns out, there was 2 mother was lions killed in 2 different scenarios. 1 was killed by a farmer protecting his animals about 5 clicks north east of his location and the 2nd was killed by his neighbor who illegally killed the lion. Thank you for your video though!
Sparx Figgy aka Monkey D. Sparx its so sad. The lions are coming down from the mountains because of wild game diminishing do to huntets and fires. Its really sad.
They look real young. Very curious just like kittens. So adorable looking. I used to volunteer and feed about 25 big cats (lions, tigers, mountain lions, leopards, one liger) back in the day this video made me miss doing that.
These are beautiful young pumas, they still have the spots of the cub.
Thanks for sharing the video and the story, 2 out if 3 is better than nothing, anyway.
OMG.. aaaaaawwwweeee.
I feel squishy.
Such a beautiful wild cat.
They are three
It looks like someone has been feeding them from their doorstep. They seem to be waiting for a handout

HELLO, thank you for rescuing these mother less Baby's". This is really unbelievable beautiful to watch this kind of Video.❤❤❤❤❤❤ Many Greetings from Germany
what an amazing moment. Lucky you!!
+redher Yes but the unfortunate reality is their mom was likely killed by a trophy hunter or a vehicle. It is good to know fish and game took them to a wildlife rescue. In British Columbia they generally euthanize orphaned cougars, hopefully this will change, like black bear cubs whom are taken to wildlife rescues for release when old enough.
+Brandt McCall that's terrible, isn't it? poor babies. Do you know why BC has that policy? are they difficult to raise or something?
Exactly, only because they were cubs who were just curious.
redher lucky my ass ... that house shouldn’t be there .. they obviously looking for easy food ... humans are building houses in their environment which is fucking sad really
Absolutely beautiful animals! What an amazing experience.
"I'm doing video if you guys would be quiet."
They keep yacking.
Awesome...Priceless sightings..best wishes from Africa
it is the animals land too. we need to protect them
R C absolutely correct!!
Its their home first and foremost ..
We impinge on their territory and destroy....
@ProseColored Glasses how ignorant you are...thats why people think its ok to kill the beautiful wild animals that share THEIR world with us....with that attitude..
The arrogance of man is typical
I would trust animals over human ones any day
ProseColored Glasses : By animal law it’s our territory because we can defend our claim... But it is also true that it is their home habitat and they cannot pack and move like humans. It is precisely because of that advantage that we owe it to our planet to not wreck what wilderness remains, we are the most adaptable and we should not abuse that advantage.
tina mabey as you live in the city or suburbs lol ur your money where your mouth is and live in the Amazon rain Forrest
These mountain lions are only cubs, and to me they look at least 3 months old. They are too young to be away from their mother. But, I appreciate what these kind people did for these cubs, getting them to somewhere where they can get better, play and grow. It is sad that one died, but at least the others survived. And living in a sanctuary will be a great experience for them. Please leave a like if you agree.
Where did you come across this information? I would like to hear or read the story! Thanks
no living in captivity is not a great experience for any wild animal, you have to be an idiot to believe or think such nonsense
And youd have to be drunk to think that starving to death due to lack of a mother would be better than a life in sanctuary. 😂
The guy who made world news killed a 3 month old mountain lion it was just confirmed
Better than starving for sure. Poor babies.
aw they are very young, how cute they are.. I would try to feed them and become friends with them..
I like to cuddle every night with my bobcat. I hope to go out west some day and make friends with a mountain lion too. their so cute and cuddly I just want to kiss them on the nose....not
Thank you for this wonderful video & explanation. It would have been so hard for me to not open the door! They just sat there looking & waiting! Glad they are safe now!🙏👍🫶
damn...tired and hungry. Poor things.
I bet they'd kill a newborn baby given the chance
john tohme - I bet they wouldn't. They do look awfully thin though. I would go out and feed them. Honestly, cougars are so much like housecats in behavior when they grow up around people, the only thing preventing their easy domestication is their size.
Depends on how far their training went. If they haven't been hunt trained, they couldn't kill a mouse except by accident.
I bet you wouldn't risk it with your newborn 7 lb 3 oz baby girl on the way home from the hospital. I bet you wouldn't risk it James Martin. And that goes for you too Crusader1815
I'd worry more about communicable diseases than an attack. Prob wouldn't let anyone near my kid, especially animals I don't know.
Aw, super cute!
I wish we had big cat species in Australia, they're such incredible animals.
I had heard that feral house cats are a serious problem in Aus. ? They would make a nice meal for one of these lions.
and dingo get extinct quickly
Orphans.
I have a friend who feeds bobcats when they show up with their scrungy mom. She had no milk probably, given her low body weight.
Mountain lions also may need a little help sometimes. Especially orphans.
Thank you for doing it
@Chris Madison in certain cases yes they do need human help. We had a pair of foxes that were inexperienced hunters and the lack of prey items around made them get weak so we fed them daily when they came. The male got hunted down but the female gave birth to healthy cubs thanks to us. Altough interfering with nature is mostly not the right thing to do sometimes exceptions are made
Just a Random Boi You're a good person
You're not suppose to feed predators or any wild animal for that matter. Definitely not mountain lions. If you see signs at state parks stating not to feed bears or alligators or whatever the animal may be, it's for a reason. Once you feed them they will continue to approach humans looking for food. That's how people get attacked. I know most people think of these animals as cuddly pets, the fact is they can survive on their own and will attack at the drop of a dime.
@@butchvito In my friend's case,, the bobcat mom never came back after she got better. Well, she came once to show off her family but definitely left for good. My friend litetally saved her 3 babies from starvation.
We'll have to make them feel right at home 👍there beautiful 💕💕🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Great post. Sorry you lost one. I gave up hunting 35 years ago. More wildlife less people. Still run around with a camera:) never got a shot like this! Thanks for this post.
I am too. I kinda get hunting for food ...but do t tho k I could do it. If I was starving then yes I could. But it would be hard.
Hunting in this century is for losers who have to prove something... to themselves. You need food go to Safeway. Leave the poor animals alone.

You can care for them by Helpnling in stopping their extinction. No more sport hunting..am going to some how..don't want them hunted..no more.

I want to help these Amazing animals..its our God given Right..with me?
I don't live in the United States but I understand that a grown up Mountain Lion is something that you don't want to run into while taking a walk in the forest, isn't that so?

You just need to be prepared. Mountain lions more often than not avoid humans so encountering them is rare. Why? They're petrified of us. Here are common solutions in escaping any injury:
-Walk with at least one more person. They're less likely to display aggression or propensity for attack in non solitary groups
-Don't run, as that gives into their instincts to chase
-Exaggerate your appearance (stretch your arms out). Look menacing and larger. Usually they commence departing at this instance
-Calmly shout (don't scream like you're Jamie Lee Curtis in "Halloween")
-Avoid eye contact. Experts suggest that cougars interpret this as a dare, thus may pounce at you
-Don't stand still...they may mistake you as prey as a result
-Don't bend down. That makes you look like a four legged animal aka prey
-Avoid getting close with them. Give a cougar that chance for escape. Most often, they'll take it and retreat
-Walk backwards. If you expose your back to them, they may ambush you, given how they strike from behind
-Ensure there are lights around you. They are less likely to come face to face with humans if something is illuminated
-Trim any bushes so they can't hide. Often cougars conceal themselves behind obstructing features (tree, bush, sign, gate, etc.). By negating that opportunity, you face limited chance of encountering them
They say you're a thousand times more likely to be struck by lightning than seeing a mountain lion. In the rare event it occurs, though, odds are they won't do anything since, again, humans scare them. Ideally you want to evade cougars in the even they're malnourished, ill or displaying habituating signs. In those instances, scaring them off usually is more difficult
Never seem on in the wild. 35 years of picture taking.Peace.
Something about these cubs look more adorable than menacing than a full-grown adult cougar. So adorable and what an experience to cherish forever. Thanks for the update in the comment thread as well!
