    They are after all “cats”. They keep a low profile. If they want to remain unseen they can do it. This one has probably been driven out of his regular environment. What a privilege to see that though.

      You stop it. 27 puma caused deaths in over 100 years (including kids btw). Fact check it. That kind of paranoia is why deer and boar are so rampant and how crop yields get lowered. They’re in rural areas, seen two of them and no story, no problems.

      @NeverSuspects 3 года назад +1

      Look at the area on google earth.. there is a quite a large area that goes from this neighbor hood to the coastline and it's mostly rural up and down the coast here. It isn't a last resort, likely lockdowns and a dramatic drop in human presense outside in this area has made it so the cat had no enocuter to divert it away from the edge of town. Also like is said in the video it may have been pushed out by it's own mother and it could just be a sign that the population is healthy for these cats. I've lived here decades and you hear about sightings of these cats nearly every year around the edge of that side of town.

    There's no dog alive that could fight a mountain lion and survive,the main reason is canines have but one weapon is their bite whereas mountain lions have much more strength than dogs and use their clawed front and back legs to hold and rip the prey to shreds. Much to my chagrin as a old lion hunter I found this out the hard way loosing several dogs.

A Kangal has a good bite but usually weighs in at 120 lbs,mountain lions go up to 225 lbs and pound for pound cats are much stronger than dogs even more so when they're wild. Dogs have only one weapon their bite but the forth largest cat in the world are mountain lions who make their living by killing large animals have become very proficient at it. Plus a mountain lions incredible strength able to jump 16-18 feet straight up in the air has four razor sharp claws that can tear through the hide of deer,elk or moose. Also they have the power in their arms legs and paws to control animals before giving them a lethal bite to the neck.
