The fact that the Lion turned its back on the guy and casually walked away at the end shows that it wasn't scared of or concerned about the guy......it just decided he wasn't worth the potential trouble. That's how you know you're dealing with an apex predator.
As a guy who was almost eaten by one the other night I can say that is a fact. The most nonchalant giant monster I've ever encountered in my entire life and I still s*** my pants thinking about it... What you said struck me because that's exactly how I explained it to someone it moves like it doesn't have a care in the world because it doesn't
There's nothing more humbling on the face of the planet then the feeling you get knowing something was looking at you like dinner, the candles were lit, the music was playing and just so happened I turned around and just so happened had a rifle in my hand because when I turned around what I saw was way bigger than me about twice my size actually
@Playfulpanthress as dumb? are you serious? He made the mistake of trying to bolt, which is what predators look for. He realized his mistake, and held his ground which is the only thing that prevented the attack. At the end, his aggressive behavior, and his bluff in advancing is what diffused the situation. If you cant see that your an idiot.
in the predator prey relationship, there is one constant that characterizes it. The prey runs, the predator chases. The only exception to this rule is large herd animals. As you can see they have developed a different strategy and it is LARGELY successful. They hold their ground, circle their young and weak, and fight off the attack. Only when they run do they suffer losses.
Funny thing it seems like that's how cats really calculate things no matter their size lol. I've watched cats do the whole disrespectful back turn thing and then the other cat just watches respectfully like what kind of odd gentlemanly passive-aggressive punking is this.
He wasn't running from the lion And lion could tell that he wasn't going to be its dinner or lunch and good thing for the guy he was being loud and walking well looking at the lion and most of the time the lion will kill a human if it was hungry or sometime lions hiding it food or the lion was just checking him out
@@blanktrigger8863 lions kill in front of the neck not in the back Only ones that do that is tigers and leopards attack from the back Or if they already kill a human and hiding the food from other animal's Or harming the Cubs then that would be a different turn some lions will know okay I'm walking a from you or if already kill someone then that could trigger another bloodbath. But I saw nothing from the mountain lion to tigger it to kill him all I saw was a curious cat
If I’m not mistaken that looks like a young cat, not quite full grown. Still big enough to cause some serious damage if it was so inclined but this cat definitely seemed to be a bit curious if not confused as to what exactly to do with you so he just decided to back off, lucky for you. It was good that you kept your cool, faced the cat and most importantly did not run. This is what made the cat think twice and possibly saved your life. Good work.
I said the same thing that it's a young Puma. If that was an adult I don't think it would've ended that way, it could have but highly unlikely. I was also thinking since the cat is young he should be careful he doesn't know if mom is near.
He ran for a couple of seconds at 2:08 then when he turned back around the cat was right behind him. How fast those animals can move. If he would have been running 2 seconds longer, he might have been attacked 😮
It is questionable. They're 7-8 feet tall standing up, and if you were up close, you'll realize how shredded their arms and legs are. These guys are big. But yeah, being a bipedal ape man who can stand tall is serious intimidation.
@@thomask6798 You really didn't need to hit Enter after every sentence .. it makes the situation look a lot worse than it would be with only bad grammar
Yeah animals are kind of dumb by human standards. For example, black bears are so stupid they don't realise that they are stronger than humans and pussy out when people scream and confront them. They just rely on confrontation.
When he said to the cat " he's much bigger" my first thought was yes but definitely not as strong. I worked with some cats when I worked as a Vet Tech at a Zoo many years back. I know firsthand just how intimidating that species of cat really CAN be. Simon was scary AF. Bianca on the other hand was a really big lap cat or so she thought
That's actually a good point. The mountain lion was probably slowly figuring out this isn't the typical big prey. It eventually realized this one was a bit more sophisticated
@@galaxytraveler5779 sometimes I think there is no way I would survive against any semi-dangerous animal but remember that my ancestors did. Be big and scary and you might just look dangerous to the animal too
They can leap 18 feet from a sitting position and over 40 feet with a running start cougars are the only animal I'm terrified of running into in the rockies way scarier then a grizzly because you never see them until its too late
@@eliteangling9284 They blend perfectly into the terrain too it’s terrifying like nature’s marine snipers. 40 foot jump though, that seems a little off no?
Running was a very bad thing to do, but I can't fault him since it's easy to judge from safety behind a keyboard, but totally different when you're alone face to face with a predator.
I got followed by a cougar once. It was scary as shit. It actually ended up on top of me. It’s my fault for buying her a drink. Thank you for all the likes.
@@Gary-bz1rf something that explodes or emits a bright flash of light usually scares things away but sometimes it acts more like a shot at a beginning of a race where the shot actually scares the animals into fight mode and you might be attacked or killed. But if the animal was scared and second guessing eating you and then you soot at the ground in front of it or in the air it should run.. but sometimes as I said, gunshots can provoke an attack
No, when I went hiking in Colorado I came within about 40 yards of one that stalked me for about 700 yards. Once it got close I put 2 rounds at its paws that cat jumped in the air and backwards about 4 feet of the ground and scattered really fast. Then after I saw how fast it took off I realize I should have fired a shot before he got to 40 yards because he could have closed the distance on me really quick, just food for thought they are quick don't let them get too close.
That's exactly what I was looking at how fast it got up to where he was when he just turned his back for about three seconds and how far and fast that mountain lion got up to that point to where he was just standing at!👀 Fast As Fuck!!!
You don't EVER turn your back on a big cat, and you CERTAINLY never run from them. Hell my girlfriends cat has ninja struck me while I was paying attention.
Mountain lions kill by biting the back of the neck and breaking the spine. They won’t attack you from the front...that’s why it approached so quick when he turned for a few seconds. You never turn your back on a mountain lion or it’ll go for the kill.
@@beekay5914 No, it was correct. In "He was passed," the words "was passed" is in the simple passive tense. "passed" is the past participle of the verb "to pass" (as in to pass by an object or boarder). Past can be used as an adjective, an adverb, noun or a preposition BUT NOT A VERB. If you're going to go around correcting grammar, do it right.
Yeah someone died from a mountain lion attack a yr or two ago. I thought the camera was attached to something but this guy is holding the camera in his one hand?? He needs to be ready to use both hands. That cat could be on top of him in under 1 second if it wanted to. Im pretty sure it could reach him in just a single pounce
He’s trying to move away from it like prey. He’s lucky it didn’t pounce. “I’m way bigger than you.” I don’t care how big you are, if a mountain lion decides that you are for lunch.. you aren’t fighting that thing off of you without a weapon. You’re best bet at that point is to be the aggressor. Be loud and move towards the animal. It will probably be convinced that you are the scarier creature and it will lose interest and move on to find easier prey. Try to do the opposite and run away and you won’t make it very far before feeling the full power of those muscles bearing down on you while razor blades cut into your back and a bite force like you wouldn’t believe snaps your neck. “I’m not afraid of you.” The funny thing about being eaten alive is that you don’t have to be afraid for it to happen lol.
People remember YOU WILL NEVER OUTRUN A MOUNTAIN LION! The best reply if you come across one is to stare it down, appear big as you can and make as much noise as possible all the while remain eye to eye locked in, letting it know YOU see it as well as it sees you (stealth attack is not an option) this guy handled it perfectly.
That’s exactly what you do ,,, try to intimidate it at least show it no fear… Look at the vid- - cougar stalks man on Vancouver Island….. THAT IS THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO….that stupid dude could have gotten any cat in the area killed… cause he’s just so cool,,, the stupid fool… if a cougar gets a human the after affects are not going to be good for cougars … yes my bro never take it for a joke,,, act big and bad ,, let it know you are not a free meal and it will not be easy for it to eat you…
It really is. I know the camera wasn't super high quality but even still, the puma just melted through that grass, getting bigger and bigger. Your perception is dulled when an object comes right at you with no side-to-side movement... amazing how instinct can transfer that deep knowledge from generation to generation of cat
@Seckswithatoaster Most likely just curious. They're nocturnal hunters. Not sure why this one would be out during the day other than being immature. A ball of yarn or perhaps a large cardboard box nay be a good alternative if you don't have access to a laser.
that was the most incredible video. I love how the man was ever polite... "hello Mr. mountain Lion" ... but I've seen my cats stalk mice, there was no mistaking it. I could feel the inner conflict. Part of me would be like this is the MOST AWESOME thing to be this close to a mountain lion, and another part of me would be like, maybe he just wants to be friends and let me pet him, what if he was a friendly mountain lion who was raised around people..... but I know what cats look like when they stalk prey. And also when the man said a firm NO, the cat YELLED back!! It roared!! But ultimately, the cat wasn't totally sure if he was big enough to take the man on, and then he looked away like saving face as if to say 'I wasn't stalking YOU, seriously?? Whatever.... and walks away..... But I wonder what happened later because the cat could have doubled back and in the tall grass that cougar was practically invisible.
If he had turned and ran it wouldn't have been pretty at all. Most large cats stalk and attack without the knowledge of the animal even being there. That encounter was very unusual, looked like it was wanting him to show fear and run. Must have been hungry.
@@Bass-ne6dl I think he was like "I have this badass mountain lion footage, but in the middle of it I make a weak-ass roar that's kinda embarrassing." So he added the growl over top to distract from it.
@@jacobsaintjames I have that suspicion too. Might be wrong, but that sound was a little TOO exact to the ones you hear in movies. Of course, horses all tend to sound pretty similar too. It's just odd for how chill the cougar was that at this specific moment when the camera is bobbing and super blurry that it lets out this death-cry in response to his attempt to scare it.
@@JJMDude I am certain because of the animal's posture. If it was feeling threatened enough to growl and even roar, its ears would be flattened and its stance would be low to the ground and aggressive. Instead it is just standing calmly watching him. An animal in that calm curious state would never make so threatening a sound. If it was real, we wouldn't have heard it just once, and the guy would have been in a lot more trouble.
@Dredgen One yup, exactly, had he turned his back, he would have been attacked. That is what the mountain lion was waiting for, show of fear and for him to turn around.
I never understood the mentality of feeling “at home” in the woods and, therefore, venturing into it with no protection. Other animals aren’t the only threat. People can be dangerous too. If you really respect the woods, then you need to be cognizant of the potential dangers and at least carry a bowie knife or machete.
Hollo Hullu this guy wasn’t being stupid but he still got approached by a mountain lion. Now what if it felt more confident with attacking him? Never underestimate a creature that can easily kill you
It was already stalking him, if he hadn’t faced the mountain lion it probably would’ve tried a surprise attack. Most big cats are like that though, as soon as their element of surprise is gone they’ll usually leave you be. But never turn your back on one or even less try to run...
Ngl I've only been in this kinda situation once amd i would have probably died if i didn't take step forward by accident, i was acting like i wasn't scared and talking to it and i stepped forward cuz it felt like my legs were gonna give out, and suddenly it jumped back a little, like it was scared for a second, thats when my flight or fight response kicked in and i had a major boost of confidence and energy and i guess since i saw it get scared it gave me the courage to scream as loud as i could with a smile on my face and sprint at it and it fucking bolted in the opposite direction lmao
Indeed. Most wild animal are naturally afraid of humans. Plus they tend to not fight unless they are forced to do so, as they could end up harmed and even die in the fight. They prey upon well ... preys. Most of the time, smaller animals that them. If you show them you're not a prey, they prefer to flee, unless they are starving and didn't eat for several days (but that's very rare I assume). The thing is to not get cocky but also to not get scared and paralysed.
haha for real, imagine you're the predator around and try to eat a prey and it's totally unfazed by your presence and starts bolting towards you shouting with a smile, creepy horror movie shit I'll say that, he'll be telling that story to his buddies later for sure 😂😂
When confronted by a mountain lion, or any hunter type mammal DO NOT RUN AWAY FROM IT!!!!!! THAT is what they are waiting for, so they can chase you, kill you and eat you. Instead, yell, wave your arms and SLOWLY MOVE TOWARD THEM. It will confuse them and cause them to leave you alone. Just be aware of where they are as you SLOWLY retreat backward out of the area
Allyson Marie THAT was truly amazing. And, he is sincerely and earnestly lucky he didn’t get smoked right then. Otherwise, he really did a great job of keeping his composure (even though he’s shaking-understandably-so hard, the camera is blurring). But, man oh man, that was straight from a horror movie!! Yet, just so cool and amazing!!
he actually did a bad job. he sounded very insecure and was pretty silent. you need to be loud an threatening, spreading your arms up into the air. the only reason hes alive is because this animal made the individual decision that the risk is too high. but he did nothing to support that thought. the second he ran he triggered the hunting instinct. I suppose it was a young animal since it really was cautious and stopped when he turned around. he did everything wrong you can do wrong there.
I like how the mountain lion is trying to decide should it go for the attack or not. "like he did run from me earlier" "but he's also bigger than me, i could get hurt" "hmmm he moved forward toward me, should i risk it" "nah i'm good I'll head out"
That human may be bigger than the mountain lion, but the mountain lion is stronger than him. If an average adult mountain lion ever decided to proceed in a full-fledged battle to the death with an average adult human being, the mountain lion would end the human being. It's just a lucky thing for us that mountain lions are not so eager on fighting human beings, rather they are put off by the loud noises...
Sunny Gupta I disagree, while a full grown adult male human would sustain major damage I highly doubt the mountain lion survives. Also keep In mind the lion can’t afford to sustain damage bcuz it needs to hunt so I’m sure they would run 9/10
@@chiefsosa077 you doubt the mountain lion survives against a human. Without weapons what damage could we even do. All it would need to do is bite or claw at a blood vessel and we would bleed out, whereas we cant do that kind of damage. Our best chance is intimidation, if that doesn't work we are either going to be injured or killed. You know the cat in the video wasnt fully grown, right. And even that one would be able to kill a full grown adult if it really wanted too, hence why the guy in video was so intimidated
I love how domesticated cats are exactly like their larger counterparts. He did the whole, “I’m not looking at you, just minding my own business” routine when he looked to the side. I watch my two cats do this to one another constantly lol. Typical cat fake out move.
@@MrWoodMan23 I don't know if he has but I have and I can tell you that was fake as f***! Sounds like he was playing something off at cell phone almost.
Sounds pretty real ta me an kinda perfect time to do it rt after taking cover so close to its prey.....wen it hit that cover i thought dude was a goner for sure
@@adammarsden4650 The growl maybe. The yowl no way in hell. It was hunting him beforehand. So 'roaring' is counter productive to the cause. Plus as Krugg said, the mouth was closed during the end of the scream. That was edited in. In might have been growling though to encourage him to run. Leaving weak points open.
I saw one of these incredible animals the other night driving home. Was about double the size of what I thought one would be. Was definitely glad I was in my car and not walking home.
Mountain lion: hey there's deer down by the ravine, come help me flank them and we split the bounty! Man: I'm not afraid of you. Mountain lion: wtf you talking about! Stop playing and come help me Man: I'm bigger than you. Mountain lion: this dude's an idiot imma go ask someone else..... Walks away
I faced one hiking with my mom. It’s easy for people to say “don’t run”. The wind gets knocked out of you when facing one, I couldn’t even whisper. If it wasn’t for bikers coming down the hill and scaring it off, I would’ve ran and been dead! Carry a weapon, they walk towards you.
Here's my dilemma. Say I didn't run. What if I get attacked nevertheless. Then ill die for sure and never live to say that this advice is shit. If I run then maybe the lion will only eat the old woman who tagged along for the hike for no particular reason?
This may sound funny but it's not: I faced a scenario just like this with a crazy squirrel. The damn thing charged at me and started making all kinds of noise... I ran for my life.
I had that happen to me before to I was practicing archery and he was on the fence that was like 4 feet from me and he kept running near me and turning the other direction and he went to run at me so I shot my arrow right next to and it and it took off and I didn't see it again😂
You are supposed to make as much noise as possible while waving your arms around making yourself seem bigger and more dangerous while standing your ground. Running away or being docile is not the right idea here, this guy got EXTREMELY lucky.
Animals can hear, though instead of understanding words they hear the pitches and patterns of your voice and understand aggressive tone of your voice for example. This guy didn't do a great job sounding aggressive but got away with it. So it really doesn't matter if you speak in english or just make random sounds, both just as good.
You can literally hear the fear in his voice, didn't sound like he had an ounce of anything he was going to fight back with. Calmly telling it you are bigger, and being bigger in your heart are two different things entirely.
MalminOG Well of course but if you are allowing this animal to stalk you then you're letting it take control. It's not a domesticated animal so using words is not going to keep the animal away. I've killed two mountain lions in my life and one I tracked down because it killed a horse of mine. They are a lot larger then most people think so when that guy was saying he's much bigger is plain idiotic. My ranch is in New Mexico so they migrate right through my ranch every year.
This cat seemed more inquisitive than predatory. I can see where that could have changed in an instant. Never let your guard down, never run, never turn your back.
Good point. Just finished watching some how to survive animal attacks videos, and it helps to be able to tell the difference, but then each animal has their own way of displaying being inquisitive vs aggressive.
@@scatala4229 well if a human actualy fought with pure survival instincts we could kill alot of things even at the cost of our own lives we could bring down anything we could wrestle even if we did die we could cause such bad infections with a bite they would surely die to
Not Mountain Lion sound effects. Some other big cat. Cougars don't roar. They aren't in the sub-family of roaring big cats; Pantherinae.They're actually the largest member of the small cat sub-family Felinae that includes house cats.
Fake roar everyone 100% 1 you can totally tell i mean it's fucking obvious. 2 the lion is just curious and doesnt look at all like he just roared. The cameras shaking and when you hear the roar the cats laterally just looking at him calmly no teeth showing.
He did so-so on this one. He kept somewhat calm, and faced the cat for the most part (other than that moronic couple of seconds). If you're ever in this position, look for a large branch or something to hold above your head, and make low tone but loud and stern sounds. You want to make yourself look big and scary, and try not to put off too many fear pheromones 😉
▂▃Zaggnut▃▂ this isn't mankind you dumbfuck. It's a single human being seemingly without a weapon who the mountain lion could tear apart if it wanted to. The mountain lion is the predator here
2:15 I didn't realize that "Hey Mr. Mountain Lion, how're you doing" is what you say on reflex when you're about to cry and pee your pants at the same time.
You handled this right. The lion was confused as to why you didn’t panic and run. And you are right about height. In nature tall usually means power so when animals see us standing upright they think we are more than we really are. But NEVER turn your back.
My Alaskan friend never goes into the woods without his 3 German shepherds and his 9mm, bear spray and loud Air horn.. all on his belt.. that's prepared..!
@@geno7462 better than No 9mm will... I'll assume if his dogs don't scare away the bear and the horn or spray hadn't worked he'll use his gun... maybe even on himself..
A 9mm will kill with effective shot placement and the right ammo. No hollows for furry creatures, preferably ball ammo. There are reports of bears being killed with a 22 long rifle. But obviously the bigger the round the better due to the mass of the bullet, and extra penetration it may cause. When I go hunting in Alaska I take a 10mm Glock as a backup gun. Light to carry, plenty of rounds, always on him, and great penetration.

They can leap 18 feet from a sitting position and over 40 feet with a running start cougars are the only animal I'm terrified of running into in the rockies way scarier then a grizzly because you never see them until its too late
@@eliteangling9284 They blend perfectly into the terrain too it’s terrifying like nature’s marine snipers. 40 foot jump though, that seems a little off no?
Running was a very bad thing to do, but I can't fault him since it's easy to judge from safety behind a keyboard, but totally different when you're alone face to face with a predator.
indispensable PC carry any small gun. PERIOD or at least bear spray
@@georgezink6338 not everywhere is legal unfortunately. If no gun than knives and pepper spray are a must.

Never turn your back.

The growling of the mountain lion is amazing ! Great video !
Anyway I would be only hiking out there with a RoboCop suit !
Do they sell those for hikers?
I’m pretty sure that was fake and put in afterwards
why is everyone making fun of the mans braveness ? most of us would've done something stupid and end up dead
When he turned his back, I thought it was over for him
I would've kept my 9mm drawn on its head and chest while having my brother false charge for two or so steps forward to scare it off
@@Gary-bz1rf something that explodes or emits a bright flash of light usually scares things away but sometimes it acts more like a shot at a beginning of a race where the shot actually scares the animals into fight mode and you might be attacked or killed. But if the animal was scared and second guessing eating you and then you soot at the ground in front of it or in the air it should run.. but sometimes as I said, gunshots can provoke an attack
No, when I went hiking in Colorado I came within about 40 yards of one that stalked me for about 700 yards. Once it got close I put 2 rounds at its paws that cat jumped in the air and backwards about 4 feet of the ground and scattered really fast.
Then after I saw how fast it took off I realize I should have fired a shot before he got to 40 yards because he could have closed the distance on me really quick, just food for thought they are quick don't let them get too close.
@@otterpop5551 I'm not sure a 9mm is big enough to stop it in time.

That's exactly what I was looking at how fast it got up to where he was when he just turned his back for about three seconds and how far and fast that mountain lion got up to that point to where he was just standing at!👀
Fast As Fuck!!!
If he would have kept running for just a couple more seconds (like 2) he would have got got!👀
He lucky he turned back around when he did.
You don't EVER turn your back on a big cat, and you CERTAINLY never run from them. Hell my girlfriends cat has ninja struck me while I was paying attention.
@@royalcommoner3873 Exactly👆
Mountain lions kill by biting the back of the neck and breaking the spine. They won’t attack you from the front...that’s why it approached so quick when he turned for a few seconds. You never turn your back on a mountain lion or it’ll go for the kill.
My God. So glad this man got through this. Amazing share. Just incredible.

Thank God for catdergarten.
past, not passed
@@beekay5914 shut up.
@@beekay5914 No, it was correct. In "He was passed," the words "was passed" is in the simple passive tense. "passed" is the past participle of the verb "to pass" (as in to pass by an object or boarder). Past can be used as an adjective, an adverb, noun or a preposition BUT NOT A VERB. If you're going to go around correcting grammar, do it right.
@@maggiemakgill excellent points and we'll put. However, you used "boarder" instead of "border".

It is nice to see that the hikers friends and family decided to upload this video after they found his camera.
If it wasn't for that sign "NO HUNTING" the lion was reading at 4:20 you would be dead.
Maura he said “oh shit my fault.”
It was thinking "you're lucky I've spotted the game warden out here or I'd sneak a quick kill in"😂
viper no no at 4:20 he was smoking a bowl
Oh yeah. I think they work the same as all the “Gun free zone” signs with criminals.

Mountain lion: "I'm waaaay stronger than you"
That's wat I was thinking...dudes like 160 soaking wet weak af.. deer weighs??? Nutz. Puma was just curious or he would of got the bizness
Puma doesn't know that.
Sad thing is puma knows it’s not and that (reason it dint attack when eye to eye) human has gun and can kill in a split second.
A puma is not stronger than a human. If it weren't for their claws and teeth they would never be able to fight an able bodied male human.

This guy is lucky to be alive. That cat was stalking him for a kill.
Brian Garrigan Fake News.
The important thing to remember if this happens to you is DONT ACT LIKE PREY!! He should not have ran.. make loud noises
Yeah someone died from a mountain lion attack a yr or two ago. I thought the camera was attached to something but this guy is holding the camera in his one hand?? He needs to be ready to use both hands. That cat could be on top of him in under 1 second if it wanted to. Im pretty sure it could reach him in just a single pounce
He’s trying to move away from it like prey. He’s lucky it didn’t pounce. “I’m way bigger than you.” I don’t care how big you are, if a mountain lion decides that you are for lunch.. you aren’t fighting that thing off of you without a weapon. You’re best bet at that point is to be the aggressor. Be loud and move towards the animal. It will probably be convinced that you are the scarier creature and it will lose interest and move on to find easier prey. Try to do the opposite and run away and you won’t make it very far before feeling the full power of those muscles bearing down on you while razor blades cut into your back and a bite force like you wouldn’t believe snaps your neck. “I’m not afraid of you.” The funny thing about being eaten alive is that you don’t have to be afraid for it to happen lol.
You relate to Sherlock or something?
People remember YOU WILL NEVER OUTRUN A MOUNTAIN LION! The best reply if you come across one is to stare it down, appear big as you can and make as much noise as possible all the while remain eye to eye locked in, letting it know YOU see it as well as it sees you (stealth attack is not an option) this guy handled it perfectly.
Throwing rocks wouldn't hurt either
Yeah but I bet he jogs with a side arm now.
Other than the panic run.
That’s exactly what you do ,,, try to intimidate it at least show it no fear…
Look at the vid- - cougar stalks man on Vancouver Island….. THAT IS THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO….that stupid dude could have gotten any cat in the area killed… cause he’s just so cool,,, the stupid fool… if a cougar gets a human the after affects are not going to be good for cougars … yes my bro never take it for a joke,,, act big and bad ,, let it know you are not a free meal and it will not be easy for it to eat you…

A ball of yarn or perhaps a large cardboard box nay be a good alternative if you don't have access to a laser.
Lol
lmfaooo
that was the most incredible video. I love how the man was ever polite... "hello Mr. mountain Lion" ... but I've seen my cats stalk mice, there was no mistaking it. I could feel the inner conflict. Part of me would be like this is the MOST AWESOME thing to be this close to a mountain lion, and another part of me would be like, maybe he just wants to be friends and let me pet him, what if he was a friendly mountain lion who was raised around people..... but I know what cats look like when they stalk prey. And also when the man said a firm NO, the cat YELLED back!! It roared!! But ultimately, the cat wasn't totally sure if he was big enough to take the man on, and then he looked away like saving face as if to say 'I wasn't stalking YOU, seriously?? Whatever.... and walks away..... But I wonder what happened later because the cat could have doubled back and in the tall grass that cougar was practically invisible.

If he had turned and ran it wouldn't have been pretty at all. Most large cats stalk and attack without the knowledge of the animal even being there. That encounter was very unusual, looked like it was wanting him to show fear and run. Must have been hungry.

That cat was pretty chill. I guarantee you the growl was an overdub.
@@jacobsaintjames I agree I think we’ve heard that growl in so many movies 😂
@@Bass-ne6dl I think he was like "I have this badass mountain lion footage, but in the middle of it I make a weak-ass roar that's kinda embarrassing." So he added the growl over top to distract from it.
@@jacobsaintjames I have that suspicion too. Might be wrong, but that sound was a little TOO exact to the ones you hear in movies.
Of course, horses all tend to sound pretty similar too. It's just odd for how chill the cougar was that at this specific moment when the camera is bobbing and super blurry that it lets out this death-cry in response to his attempt to scare it.
@@JJMDude I am certain because of the animal's posture. If it was feeling threatened enough to growl and even roar, its ears would be flattened and its stance would be low to the ground and aggressive. Instead it is just standing calmly watching him. An animal in that calm curious state would never make so threatening a sound. If it was real, we wouldn't have heard it just once, and the guy would have been in a lot more trouble.

No way I'd go hiking around mountain lions or bears without the ability to call in an airstrike.
This is why you never go unarmed into the woods. It's not Disneyland folks.
So, no Thumper or Bambi then?
I never understood the mentality of feeling “at home” in the woods and, therefore, venturing into it with no protection. Other animals aren’t the only threat. People can be dangerous too. If you really respect the woods, then you need to be cognizant of the potential dangers and at least carry a bowie knife or machete.
@@godwavenexus You probably shouldn't need a knife as long as you're not gonna be stupid

I think he was goin for his bike since it was pretty far away, but it started running at him so he turned back around to face it
It was already stalking him, if he hadn’t faced the mountain lion it probably would’ve tried a surprise attack. Most big cats are like that though, as soon as their element of surprise is gone they’ll usually leave you be. But never turn your back on one or even less try to run...
Right😱😱
Mountain lion : you're about to die
Man : ok, just let me video tape it for my RUclips channel
Ngl I've only been in this kinda situation once amd i would have probably died if i didn't take step forward by accident, i was acting like i wasn't scared and talking to it and i stepped forward cuz it felt like my legs were gonna give out, and suddenly it jumped back a little, like it was scared for a second, thats when my flight or fight response kicked in and i had a major boost of confidence and energy and i guess since i saw it get scared it gave me the courage to scream as loud as i could with a smile on my face and sprint at it and it fucking bolted in the opposite direction lmao
Indeed. Most wild animal are naturally afraid of humans. Plus they tend to not fight unless they are forced to do so, as they could end up harmed and even die in the fight. They prey upon well ... preys. Most of the time, smaller animals that them. If you show them you're not a prey, they prefer to flee, unless they are starving and didn't eat for several days (but that's very rare I assume).
The thing is to not get cocky but also to not get scared and paralysed.
Omg that's terrifying. I would probably run and instantly be eaten.
lmao!!
haha for real, imagine you're the predator around and try to eat a prey and it's totally unfazed by your presence and starts bolting towards you shouting with a smile, creepy horror movie shit I'll say that, he'll be telling that story to his buddies later for sure 😂😂

When confronted by a mountain lion, or any hunter type mammal DO NOT RUN AWAY FROM IT!!!!!! THAT is what they are waiting for, so they can chase you, kill you and eat you. Instead, yell, wave your arms and SLOWLY MOVE TOWARD THEM. It will confuse them and cause them to leave you alone. Just be aware of where they are as you SLOWLY retreat backward out of the area
Thank you for holding the camera so still.
Bro hes getting stalked by a mountain lion. You would be shaking too
He probably stablized the image after he was done.
When it started growling he got shaky af 😂
Im shaking just watching this!! I would certainly need new pants if this happened to me lol
Have all your body's adrenaline hit you at once then try to hold a camera steady while starring down that beast of a cat.
That's a good kitty !!! Probably just wanted some luv. It's a youngster, more curious than threatening.
In the time it took for the guy to run back 5 ft, the mountain lion closed the 30 foot gap
Allyson Marie this has nothing to do with anything but I like your profile picture 😀
Allyson Marie THAT was truly amazing. And, he is sincerely and earnestly lucky he didn’t get smoked right then. Otherwise, he really did a great job of keeping his composure (even though he’s shaking-understandably-so hard, the camera is blurring).
But, man oh man, that was straight from a horror movie!! Yet, just so cool and amazing!!
word that is incredible. he's lucky he turned around when he did.
he actually did a bad job. he sounded very insecure and was pretty silent.
you need to be loud an threatening, spreading your arms up into the air.
the only reason hes alive is because this animal made the individual decision that the risk is too high. but he did nothing to support that thought. the second he ran he triggered the hunting instinct.
I suppose it was a young animal since it really was cautious and stopped when he turned around.
he did everything wrong you can do wrong there.
Man I was wondering if anybody else noticed that
I like how the mountain lion is trying to decide should it go for the attack or not.
"like he did run from me earlier"
"but he's also bigger than me, i could get hurt"
"hmmm he moved forward toward me, should i risk it"
"nah i'm good I'll head out"
That human may be bigger than the mountain lion, but the mountain lion is stronger than him. If an average adult mountain lion ever decided to proceed in a full-fledged battle to the death with an average adult human being, the mountain lion would end the human being. It's just a lucky thing for us that mountain lions are not so eager on fighting human beings, rather they are put off by the loud noises...
Sunny Gupta I disagree, while a full grown adult male human would sustain major damage I highly doubt the mountain lion survives. Also keep In mind the lion can’t afford to sustain damage bcuz it needs to hunt so I’m sure they would run 9/10
Sunny Gupta also it’s best chance would be the initial strike which it better hope it gets the throat bcuz it’s probably finished if not
VeeMaxine you make good points as well
@@chiefsosa077 you doubt the mountain lion survives against a human. Without weapons what damage could we even do. All it would need to do is bite or claw at a blood vessel and we would bleed out, whereas we cant do that kind of damage. Our best chance is intimidation, if that doesn't work we are either going to be injured or killed. You know the cat in the video wasnt fully grown, right. And even that one would be able to kill a full grown adult if it really wanted too, hence why the guy in video was so intimidated
Fact: mountain lions do this behavior when they're lost and need directions.

Lmaoo
You are supposed to make as much noise as possible while waving your arms around making yourself seem bigger and more dangerous while standing your ground. Running away or being docile is not the right idea here, this guy got EXTREMELY lucky.
Albert Einstein I love how he's talking to lion in English like it's a person?
Animals can hear, though instead of understanding words they hear the pitches and patterns of your voice and understand aggressive tone of your voice for example.
This guy didn't do a great job sounding aggressive but got away with it.
So it really doesn't matter if you speak in english or just make random sounds, both just as good.
You can literally hear the fear in his voice, didn't sound like he had an ounce of anything he was going to fight back with. Calmly telling it you are bigger, and being bigger in your heart are two different things entirely.
MalminOG Well of course but if you are allowing this animal to stalk you then you're letting it take control. It's not a domesticated animal so using words is not going to keep the animal away. I've killed two mountain lions in my life and one I tracked down because it killed a horse of mine. They are a lot larger then most people think so when that guy was saying he's much bigger is plain idiotic. My ranch is in New Mexico so they migrate right through my ranch every year.
I think that's for a bear dummy
This cat seemed more inquisitive than predatory. I can see where that could have changed in an instant. Never let your guard down, never run, never turn your back.
Pre-predation would in fact start with inquisitive investigation
Good point. Just finished watching some how to survive animal attacks videos, and it helps to be able to tell the difference, but then each animal has their own way of displaying being inquisitive vs aggressive.

Fake roar everyone 100% 1 you can totally tell i mean it's fucking obvious. 2 the lion is just curious and doesnt look at all like he just roared. The cameras shaking and when you hear the roar the cats laterally just looking at him calmly no teeth showing.

I think the mountain lion was finally driven off by the smell of the poo collecting in your shorts.
+crimdell Hahaha...
crimdell lol. That's why the cat looked at him with his mouth open lol.
LMAO
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
He did so-so on this one. He kept somewhat calm, and faced the cat for the most part (other than that moronic couple of seconds). If you're ever in this position, look for a large branch or something to hold above your head, and make low tone but loud and stern sounds. You want to make yourself look big and scary, and try not to put off too many fear pheromones 😉
It covered a lot of ground toward him as soon as he turned his back. Not sure he realized how close he came to an attack.
He was just people watching. Bet he went home and told his cat buddies he ran into a wild human.
Hooman
Probably posted a video on CatTube
Why does that Mountain Lion have to be both scary and cute at the same time at 2:17 haha.

RUNNING from a predator.........not the best idea.

Ask Chris Hansen
i lold
Mankind is the predator, the mountain lion fled even with a retreating human.
I'm surprised the smell of shit didn't deter the cat. You know when he turned to run his underwear took one for the team.
▂▃Zaggnut▃▂ this isn't mankind you dumbfuck. It's a single human being seemingly without a weapon who the mountain lion could tear apart if it wanted to. The mountain lion is the predator here
2:15 I didn't realize that "Hey Mr. Mountain Lion, how're you doing" is what you say on reflex when you're about to cry and pee your pants at the same time.
You handled this right. The lion was confused as to why you didn’t panic and run. And you are right about height. In nature tall usually means power so when animals see us standing upright they think we are more than we really are. But NEVER turn your back.
Did you seriously turned your back and tried to outrun it? Lmao.
he moved to his bike it was only a meter or so but yeah still risky
When I saw that he move quickly like trying to run I thought oh no! He’s done! Lol
Should have walked backwards slowly
Should’ve stayed on the couch :)
inurtrash agreed
Mountain lion : Hey man, can i become your friend
Man: Stay away, I'm much bigger than you
Mountain lion: Alright man, I’m outta here 🚶🏼♂️
That kind of thinking is how ppl end up dead
Ничего Себя they would surely have a really in depth conversetion
I think the homosexual mt lion was wanting to mate with this homosexual hiker In this homosexual and environment

My Alaskan friend never goes into the woods without his 3 German shepherds and his 9mm, bear spray and loud Air horn.. all on his belt.. that's prepared..!
Would a 9mm do much to a bear?
@@geno7462 better than No 9mm will... I'll assume if his dogs don't scare away the bear and the horn or spray hadn't worked he'll use his gun... maybe even on himself..
Unfortunately I'm 9 m m in Alaska is a poor choice for four-legged predators
.44 mag and above when carrying handgun
A 9mm will kill with effective shot placement and the right ammo. No hollows for furry creatures, preferably ball ammo. There are reports of bears being killed with a 22 long rifle. But obviously the bigger the round the better due to the mass of the bullet, and extra penetration it may cause. When I go hunting in Alaska I take a 10mm Glock as a backup gun. Light to carry, plenty of rounds, always on him, and great penetration.
Loved the stock sound effect added in post.
“I’m not afraid of you”. Good bluff!! 😂😂
“Do you REALLY need to bring that pistol out EVERYTIME we go on a hike???”
Just one? 😂
The Himmler Black bears are the largest animals in my area. I NEVER scout, or hunt without my 7 shot .357 on my side, with a speed loader.
man i need a pistol going to the kitchen
He's in Canada, so he cannot carry a handgun.
@@dalesmyth7398 then a big ole can of bear mace...
When your so terrified, you start talking like mr. Roger's lmao
Funniest comment
@@JonahsWail agreed
