She is definitely a mountain lion in a human costume. Confirmed.

I've never had a face to face per say. Although while fishing in California last year near dusk. I just had this overwhelming feeling I was being watched, to the point I actually decided to pack up and take advantage of the limited light and hike back the truck. As I was hiking back up the trail which was essentially a deer trail and extremely overgrown this was when started hearing sticks break and defidently knew I wasn't alone. In my mind I was still trying to tell myself it was a deer even though I had never had a deer shadow me like that. I also remember how quiet it was that evening. I even recall stoping a few times and it would always seem to stop shortly after I did also. It was about a half mile hike. Once I had loaded my gear and was in the truck I remember thinking wow see it's nothing I should still be fishing. When I started the truck probably within ten seconds and less then 100 feet away from me a full grown very large cat runs across the road it seemed like it cleared the two lane road in two strides. Having spent most of my life outdoors and living in the mountains I was always told it's not the mountain lion you see you have to worry about it's the one you don't see. I think the cat was just curious, I still fish the same spot to this day. Although it was an exhilarating experience, if I never knew what it was it probably wouldn't have set as well with me.
he was gonna knock you down and take your fish after you'd done all the hard work
highly dangerous behavior, i've seen a a camera mounted to a fishing boat where a guy in south america got out onto the shore line and started fishing. after a while a black panther crept up behind him in the grass and grabbed him when he finally looked behind him to see what was moving. even if you're bigger if they're desperate enough for easy prey they take advantage of our ignorance kinda like how when no one is around at home bears will rifle through anything they can find
Didn't have any fish to offer unfortunately. Just s curious cat I suppose. Defidently glad I packed up early though.
Always go with your gut instinct.
So many people talk about this feeling of being watched. Do you think it's some kind of telepathic stuff?
Fun Fact: Cougars are usually past their prime but their life experiences make up for everything else. Cougars can turn adolescent lions into full adult lions overnight. Cougars will share their wealth of experiences to the right lion if they think you are a worthy catch. So God bless you Cougars, you will always have a special place in my heart.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
Yum
That was the best comment ever
Yawn.
yes!!! I love this
Most of the time, you won't even know the puma is near until it's already on you. They're stealthy enough that you can walk right by one without knowing it's there.
When I was a teenager I had an encounter with a Mountain Lion while hiking with my father. Counting his tail he was 7ft long. This was by no means a frightening experience. He acted totally indifferent toward us. He went about his business as if he did not even notice us.
It really depends on the individual mountain lion and its circumstances, most would attack if they are starving or something but otherwise they generally don't attack.
@@erikmckoul2478 A maneater is pretty desperate. That species is shy toward people. Most predators find the flavor of human flesh & blood repulsive. In spite of all of that I know those occasions have occured.
@@erikmckoul2478 The most interesting thing about the experience is where it happened. It was in the Santa Monica mountains. That is now a National Recreation Area. It is right next to metropolitan Los Angeles. During my childhood & teenage years I hung out there to retreat from the city. I saw so much wildlife out there. My father my brothers & my friends also did & people had a hard time believing us when we told them about it.
It is easy to understand why. Metropolitan LA is America's largest metropolis & the southern third of Ventura county is heavily populated.
@@ronaldwinfield307 Wow that's quite interesting it definitely does make sense.
@@erikmckoul2478 1 thing Fleetwood Mac had in common with Led Zeplin was they liked to have recording studios in the countryside so could capture sounds they could not capture in the city.
Fleetwood Mac had a studio in Topanga Canyon. Topanga Canyon is in the Santa Monica Mountains.
I was camping in steamboat springs Colorado once. Taking a pee in the woods by our campsite when all of the sudden my friends dog started barking like crazy. A few seconds later I looked up and saw two glowing eyes staring at me. Shined my flashlight and sure as hell there was a Mtn lion about 15 feet up in a tree just Looking at me. I’ve never been more scared in my life
I encountered one in Devil's Den in Weston, CT. It was about 50 feet away and walking away. I saw it when I rounded a curve. I stopped and admired its long sweeping tail that almost dragged on the ground, its short light brown fur and how it walked on its digits. I froze in place. It stopped turned its head toward me. then took two steps and turned completely around and it starred at me. I didn't move knowing that I didn't want to trigger the flight or fight response. He looked at me realized that I wasn't a threat then climbed a rocky cliff. Devils den is less than one hour from NYC and is more than 2x the size of Central park. Weston is a very high end area with two acre minimum lots, no apartments, and many large Nature Preserves. When I told my neighbors I found five that had similar sightings however CT refuses to admit they exist. They lie.
What you saw was probably a male that had to wander more than 1000 miles to get there. Many people claim to have seen them in New England and surrounding states, including my ex wife here in Western Massachusetts. I believe that many of the sightings are genuine. What wildlife officials in all of these states say is that there is no thriving populations here - no families of cats. When they are seen, it is a male that has wandered here in search of territory from the west or the north. Females do not wander as far as males, nor do they need to. A male cat would find plenty of food around here, but no female to mate with, unless humans made it happen. If there were thriving families of these big cats here, tracks and scat would be found and they would be seen in at least a few of the thousands of trail cams in our woods.
I have to suspect if a mountain lion wanted to eat me I would never see it until it was on my back.
I think the same while hiking alone in Colorado.
Don't act afraid, act big, loud, pick something big up and throw it. They are impressed by that. Dont run. Bears on the other hand are not impressed by your ability to pick things up. Pots and pan clanking will usually scare a bear off. Bear spray is always a good thing to carry. Oregon has a large population of both, depending where you hike.
I’m a new Oregon resident, you wouldn’t happen to know the laws and regulations on open carrying a firearm in state parks would you?
I’ve been planning on taking a trip to mt hood soon.
@@AJ-gk7bn it's still legal. I'd suggest internet searching it too though. Look for posts prohibiting it where you go. Many of oregons rural areas, especially around coos bay are full of people open carrying or concealed. The officers are comfortable and friendly about it. Just keep the clip out etc when it's in your vehicle if you want to be legal. When you get around the "progressive" areas be careful though. People may freak.
@@AJ-gk7bn ...and hood definitely qualifies as a people might freak zone.
There are two things I would do automatically if I met a mountain lion on the trail..... #1..... Followed immediately by.... #2....

@@iamagooddog21 Did you not even get the joke?? 🤣
Lol
😂
Pull out your phone and record it. Cameraman never dies.
Me seeing a mountain lion: screams like a teenage girl after getting their phone taken away
You forgot to mention their proclivity for ripping throats out.
If they are near my livestock and property I shoot them. And I have done. If I see one deep in the woods then I try to leave it alone. That’s coexistence.
or just crushing the skull or the back of the neck
Personally I think junior bending down to pick up rocks so many feet away from the others could be a bad idea.
I'm only here because I saw that tik tok of the guy being followed by a mountain lion.
Same here. Man that was freaky.
it's a video not a tik tok lol
is it where he was barking at the lion
Me too!
Me to :)
Always carry a laser pointer they are like house cats and easily distracted ...
Omg that made me lol
Is that what you do every time you encounter one..🤪
i know you're joking, but it has been tested and they don't care!
As a last resort, turn on a vacuum cleaner.
Yeah just pull out the pet carrier like your going to the vet
Pet it and feed it, of course.
Give them belly rubs and catnip. They love that.
Lol take a huge as choker to the wild I'm ready throat protection activated
@@outbackeddie pro tip: when being chased by a big cat, carry a huge bag of catnip
I had a close encounter in early September this year on Basalt Mountain Trail that connects to Cattle Creek trail. I was returning to the car after an evening elk hunt. It was dark and i was walking the trail about 1.5 miles from the trailhead near a water hole. My headlamp lit up a set of eyes as off in the distance. As i approached the eyes the animal did not run. I eventually got close enough to where my head lamp illuminated the Mountain Lion. once i was able to identify the animal I immediately took a few slow steps back and pulled my bear spray out of my hip holster. I began to yell at it to clear out. He didn't like this. he charged at me closing to a distance of 15 yards. where he paused. I stood my ground and calmly waited for him to come into range of my spray. he retreated back. This repeated a few more times before he eventually moved to the side off of the trail only 20-30 yards. I had to walk right past him, never turning my back on him. once i got to a safe distance i pulled my backup headlamp from my pack and wore it backwards so I couldn't be attacked from behind. That was a long walk back to the car alone. Luckily I had watched videos like this and learned some skills that likely saved my life.
Reading this from Carbondale hahah! Stay safe
@@sweezlesquee no, the animal never came into range, which is about 30 feet. If I had deployed the spray I would have risked being without spray after failing to hit the target.
So rare to see them that they needed to make this video
I have had a number of experiences with these cats in the woods and they mostly they run away. Occasionally they will follow, just out of sight in the forest, apparently out of curiosity.
I came across a mountain lion when I lived on the front range in Colorado. It was very close, it simply observed me for a minute, then walked away.
Depending on the situation if you encounter a Mountain Lion, the second you reach down to grab a rock it's going to pounce on your ass.
tnx 4 this important information.
a mountain lion walked past me.
it glanced @ me 4 a moment - kept waking down a dry riverbed. it probably could v easily killed me if it had been hungry. it was: poetry in motion / awesome to see & I'll always remember that day
Here in Uruguay there were mountain lions many, many decades ago. They never attacked people, in fact, peasants called them "El amigo del hombre" (Man's friend).
I have had seven mountain lion encounters. They are always close and I never once felt threatened by one. In most cases they turned and ran away as soon as we encountered one another or maybe as soon as I realized it was there. Two of them just sat and watched me but there was never a threat.
If they watched you, you were being threatened whether you acknowledged it or not...
I would definitely try to feed them and lure them to lay on my porch. I wouldn't do that with bears though. I had a bunch wild cats for a while, they let me hang out with them all the time, I just couldn't pet them. bummer. Lol
@@Steves_fish I have no doubt.
@@3pendont4 you shouldn't feed them... that just makes them feel more comfortable with humans and now they will more likely approach other people and those mountain lions wont always be docile.
ok and what append in that case ruclips.net/video/kFsNIH3a4as/видео.html injured cat searching for easy prey?
2:45 "Mountain lions are quite vulnerable to chainsaws. When it attacks you, cutting the mountain lion up into several roughly equally sized pieces, will usually stop the attack."
😂😂😂
I don’t usually have one of those on me though. You carry that around with you? 😂
Not if it cuts you up into pieces first
@@wlcwalshlifecounseling4581 I usually take at least 3 or 4 chainsaws with me if I go to an area where there might be mountain lions.
True
If attacked by a cougar, do the following: understand that she was recently divorced, offer to fill her glass of wine, mention how nice she looks, and try to enjoy your cougar experience.
😅😂
been hiking for over 40 years... I've never been threatened by bears or cougars... Matter fact I've had perilous close calls with agressive wild hogs and male bucks
oh yea hogs are mean. but they make good meals.they're coats also are very useful
I've been looking for cougars as of recent. I've been hitting the wrong bars.
@@_Tovar_ lol. I know the feeling brother.
Have you ever hiked the Pacific Crest Trail? And how about rattlesnakes have you encountered them?
Amazing power and agility. We have them over 200lbs here in Western Alberta.
"Throw sticks"
*Man picks up small tree*
"Uh...actually you're scaring me now."
2:07 if you see a big cat but it doesn't see you, yell and wave your arms to get its attention, like this!
I guess it’s possible, especially if from very far (binoculars) but I tend to think that by the time you spot a mountain lion, it has already spotted you 😬
You underestimate how stealthy they are.
Mountain lions don't view people as prey, because they're not familiar with us. However, if they get used to seeing us around, and have chances to observe our behaviour, that could easily change.
If you are attacked, fight back! haha....thanks for this advice!
If Mike Tyson punches u...fight back!!
laughed too hard at this hahaha
Having been a lifetime housecat owner I know the absolute worst thing you can do with a cat is run away... Anyone who has ever played with a cat and a piece of string should know this. I've told lots of people scared over lots of wild animals (skunks, possums, raccoons, etc) that in general they are more scared if you than you of it - even a skunk, I had someone tell me how scared they were encountering one in their yard - mainly of getting sprayed - and I just told them they just give it a decent distance (walk a path around it) and don't do anything to startle it and it's highly unlikely to spray, they have limited spray in their gland and it can take a week to regenerate if they use it all so it's mostly reserved for being directly attacked, dont charge at it and you're probably fine.
If you do encounter something highly dangerous (especially like a defensive mother with cubs, etc) you back away, never ever turn your back and run (prey behavior). Remember that in the wild there are no doctors, an injured animal is a vulnerable animal to its own species even, or competitors, most don't want to engage in fights with animals their own size or larger that can fight back because injury can mean death in short order.
You unholster your .357 magnum and take the safety off......
I live near Grand Rapids Michigan, about two years ago my neighbor saw a cougar. I’m sure because of the flooding it moved on. I would love to see one, but not to close up.
...only 2 fatal attacks and 900 near fatal attacks.
Yea that seems like a lot to me
Yes, notice she doesn't mention the number of non-fatal attacks or extent of injury.
...and some of those 900 WISHED they had been fatalities. 😳
What ever you do.... DON'T offer them cat nip. Boy that was a bad idea on my part.
Wow was this filmed in the 1990s? Early 2000s? Looks like an old video.
Nah, probably a small town a few years behind in technology, mine is like that. A perpetual 2005 but with smartphones.
One day after this video was published and broadcast, first mountain lion attack took place. Mountain lions didn't watch this video. Just came from a video of a man being stalked by one, and he had a hard time scaring it off, was in a gun free zone while trail marking.
3:52 “hopefully, you’ll choose suicide over conflict, and leave the big cats alone...”
Ty for this informative video. Most of it I knew growing up I mountain lion habitat, however I always enjoy learning new safety techniques. ❤️🙌
I guess I'm one of the fortunate and rare once as I have seen a mountain lion in the wild it was by Angel fire New Mexico about 3 in the morning. A good friend and myself were going there on a snow skiing trip and the cat just wandered across the road in the bottom of the canyon. He slowed down and looked it us we slow down in the car we were in and watched him disappear. It was big and a magnificent looking animal. This was approximately fifteen years ago somewhere around 2008 or 2009.
I'm 2021 a beautiful female cougar gave to two cubs on my property.
She would walk within 100 yards of my deck late in the evening and never killed any of my pets.
They have moved on now but it was a blessing having them here for that year 🐱🐱🐱.
Blessing? You were lucky. Beautiful animals from a telescopic distance. Close up, they sneak up on you and you’ll never know what hit you. Then they drag your body off in the distance and bury you as their meal for later. I’ve seen this happen, after the moment.
They are so beautiful
Introduce yourselves. You are more likely to die from a pitbull than a mountain lion. Mountain lions are lovers not fighters. They can "love" up to 60 times in an hour. Non aggressive unless very hungry, very sick or near their cute adorable cubs.
what u say is half true.
@@trinidadapodaca7027 oh ? Care to elaborate ?
@@trinidadapodaca7027100% facts.
What to do? What my aunt did in Arkansaw too many years ago (late 1950's, forgot year).
She missed daylight walk back home after church, left later, had a baby in arms, holding hand of other son at her side.
They were stalked by a mountain lion, her baby crying, mountain lion screaming along. She sang high operatic soprano, walked singing Amazing Grace as loud and high as she could, baby and lion joining in. They made it home safe.
Now they're all Home together enjoying Heaven's Amazing Grace, face to Face.
Love you'll forever Aunt Mae, Uncle George, cousins Rex and Fred (and his family Terri, Troy).
Not running away and exploring dominance is really the best method
Like house cats, they want that chace. It's the adrenaline rush they get get from herbavores, like deer. Its about dominance. I am 5'1" but if I know what kind of loud music to play or what white flashes to bang, youll bet your bottom I know what I need to do to appear dominant. Not my first rodeo
2:29 clearly the mountain has perfect knowledge of american english
Nice and informative video. Thank you.
Not much you can do except hope it doesn't come after you. If it does you aren't going to outrun it.
The cougar I met seemed to be calmed by approaching gently and buying her a drink 🍸 😏
I'm definitely going to take a machete with me when I go on a deep hike
I'm from the city. When I was out west I slept with an AK47.
i’ll be bringing a nuclear bomb
Please no. Many other ways to deal
Yeah that won't do it. Be loud big, either use a gun or get deadlier weapon like a gun or as a guy said a chainsaw
It will still eat you.
No, but he will encounter you and you wont even know it.
Yes, encounters are rare. So rare that I was in my 70s when I finally encountered one on a mountain trail in NV. He was just as intent on putting distance between us as I was. I backed away slowly. He went the other way. He would trot 20 feet, then stop and look back to check on me. Then he'd trot another 20 feet and repeat. When he was satisfied with the situation, he just kept trotting. He's probably posting on Cougar Central about his encounter too.
BTW, I figured out later that the mountain lion was probably just coming down the trail for a drink. There is a creek bed at the foot of the mountain which is almost always dry. However, there had been a week of drizzling rain just before this, and the creek was bubbling along. I later saw tracks leading right up to the creek. He just wanted a nice big drink of cool refreshing water.
Roaring with aggressiveness,ready to fight to the death saved my life with a female and her yearling, stand your ground don't mouse out!
Actually back off slowly and deliberately and keep backing up and getting out of their territory . Standing your ground is not , " Your Ground" to be standing on as far as wild creatures who are apex predators goes. If you do not belong, don't be long. Leave , back up and keep on going.
@@Jakesmydawg actually it matters which predator you encounter. You don't turn a cat around backing up unless it just wants to walk you off. Convincing them you aren't easy prey is a good idea with cats.
@@Jakesmydawg Who says it's not my ground? You? Where is my natural habitat, or yours for that matter? A Neiman Marcus store? No, we SHARE these areas with these animals.
See where is the fine line of standing your ground and not being so aggressive that it feels challenged. Also when they turn around and leave how do you escape the forest? Knowing they could just be taking another route or could persistently continue to stalk you
The best way to co-exist with big cats is to always carry a .357 magnum. That could scare 'em away.
another idiot just looking for any excuse to justify carrying a gun! trying to compensate for how stupid you are??
Sure hope you intend on using it because that cats not gonna put his hands up if you just aim it at him
Nicky Poundtown They’ll run away when you firing warning shots
@@patchez4055 It is better to have one and don't need it.
I like to apply that logic to people!
You approach it with confidence and then try to wrestle it until it knows your the boss and then you take it home and keep it as your oversized house cat.
Once you manage to domesticate the Big Kitty, you will never have to worry about locking your front door ever again, or about home invasions! Guaranteed! Just fill up your bathtub with kitty litter and use a trowel to scoop it out and you will resolve litter box issues
I have seen tracks including a “tail sweep” in four foot of snow in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The Michigan DNR has finally recognized that they are in our state and have DNR evidence that they are from South Dakota. Yes, the Upper Midwest now has cougars.
I don't take a hiking stick, I take a .45 cal with hollow points.
thanks for the tips
A puma is a mountain lion?
I’ve had one walk out right in front of me In Carmel CA. Had another walking behind my house in Bradley CA, saw his large paw prints in the sand.
if one sees a mountain lion ,one must get in the car.
Most of the people commenting on here obviously haven't ever hiked in the wilderness. I've encountered Cougars on multiple occasions in NorCal and never felt threatened. To see them in their natural habitat is a privilege. Incredibly beautiful animals. Human beings in my opinion are the biggest threat to my safety. I hike in solitude for a reason. I don't like people at all. I hike with people only if they are like minded individuals such as myself.
regressives?
@Kiki on the Trail - I agree with you 100%.
Stay safe out there, alone🙏
People are the most dangerous animal of all. That is a fact.
I love this old school style education video 😂 reminded me of my childhood
Of throw rocks or sticks as soon as it started stocking me. I saw a real video of a mountain lion following a guy and even charging at him and hissing from about 50 feet away and kept it up like 5minutesAs soon as he picked up one rock and threw it the mountain lion turned and ran. Animals are impressedjust by being able to pick things up elephants do it with their trunksgorullas do it just picking something up and being able to throw it scares a lot of animals
Those poor mountain lions being bullied by our hands.
I think that was a female mountain lion in that video. it didn't wantvto eat the guy just wanted to get him to leave the area. she probably had kitten's near by.
Beautiful animals
Yeahhh, great wild & beautiful Animal ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Greetings from Germany
Every time I go comping or hiking. I always see something interesting. ❤
Lastly, be armed.
firstly, do not be fearful of that which you don't understand. fear is detected by the animal. it would not be practical foe eithre of you.
Armed and bear spray. If you are within 50 feet you better have both out and hope that it is not windy. Knife wouldn’t be a bad idea either.
i get the thing about "only you only you" because somebody is out here with armor on their testicles
@Oodie Bro Carry both. There has been several fatal brown bear attack where there has been an empty bear spray can near the corpse.
the lion can be aggressive at first contact but he is adorable when you know him
"ONLY been 2 fatal attacks"
Oh is that all?
In the state, compared to like 5 from a hydroelectric power plant fire, 90 from shootings, about 7,000 from covid, and well over 10,000 from automobile accidents.
But overall, not counting just Colorado?
I'm pretty sure you're more likely to be killed by a deer, or a vending machine (yeah I'm serious), if that puts things into perspective.
Horse Shit
@@trumptorianguard4617 what is
1:11 Phew that's good...I'll carry a ball of tin foil with me, maybe it'll play and swat it around, while I fill my underwear.
I did meet one, turned the corner on a trail, and 25 feet in front of me was a cougar crossing the trail, I got off the trail and moved into the tree line toward the trailhead.
Having a sidearm like my 10mm Auto, 357 mag or 44 mag is great for last line of defense in case of Lion aggression.
I wouldn’t go hiking without a Marlin 45-70 guide gun.
We don't look strange to them, they know that we're a primate. We like to think these apex predators don't hunt humans but that's not how these animals think. You step into their habitat you're prey, maybe not their usual prey which helps but a cougar will not hesitate given the opportunity, nature demands it.
If you're a Honey Badger, you ask the cougar if it's looking for some serious injuries. If not, you better move on.
they are all over the place, i've seen them a couple times in southern arizona
Shit, just two fatal incidents. That's more than enough. I went for a hike once. I went around the bushes, and the next thing I know, I was facing one of these mountain lions. Man, I have to tell you. I almost shit myself; he didn't stop looking at me; I held a stick and kept walking back. All of a sudden, he started to roar. I was long gone by then. I'm glad he did not chase me. My advice is careful when hiking.
I always get a fresh Cougar tag every January, just to be prepared.
If it is so rare, why do we have to take so many precautions against them?
First time I ever saw a mountain lion, I went out to our outdoor atv garage and sat on my quad for a minute or two looking at my phone. Turned the key over and maybe 15ft to my right, I saw it's giant tube of a tail fly between two bushes and up the hill. I doubt it intended to attack me but DAMN, knowing it was just right there, watching me silently was unsettling to say the least.
The title makes it sound like it's going to introduce itself.
This is a good video
Very very interesting video mam
What to do? Go "Here, kitty-kitty-kitty" & whip out a can of tuna...😅
We have constant interactions in Southern California, some not very fun.
Whiting Ranch a good example. Aliso Wood Canyon - I was riding alone on summer evening, not good idea, stopped adjusting my bike seat and heard that cat low growl, the hair on my back stood up and I knew what that was. I saw no one around so turned around and headed back towards parking lot walked my bike as I kept looking around knowing at this point if I got on my bike the cat would chase me down, I kept vigilant ready to use my bike for cover then I head two bikers heading my way. What a relief!! I don’t ride alone anymore.
@@ohwhataday7171 yup! Had a close encounter 2 years ago around 9pm walking down from Santiago Peak, maybe 20 ft away from me, charged it with my hands up, yelling, which luckily worked. That was the last time I listened to music through headphones while hiking 😆
What to do if you encounter one? Throw it a cardboard box. cats love boxes.
Stupid question, do we have them in Canada to? I live in the heart of Toronto, so I’m not too worried about it, but I do travel all over the country, often in remote locations up north, so I will be interested to know if it’s something I should be aware of, thanks!
A great tool to get away from a mountain lion is a simple flashlight.... It all depends on how fast you can run with it....
2:44 what to do if you get attacked by mountain lion
🤣🤣
"North America's largest and most elusive feline predator", sorry, but that title goes to the jaguar, which would most certainly have a cougar for lunch.
I live in Tucson one morning while taking my dog out there was a m cat about 20 feet from me me just ran can never looked back. Also about 20 years old one jumped on the roof. I live right behind the Tucson Mountain park.
I lived in the southeast side of San Diego numerous sightings of cougars or mountain lions I was never bothered by them too much but at one time I was and shooting over its head and Scattered away, whenever I went out to my pool I always carried my pistol whenever I went out into my yard by the lemon trees I always carried my pistol I had two footed Critters and I had four footed Critters
Better idea, don't go where they are and you won't need to worry about fighting them. If it is not avoidable carry your fire arm.
Could you imagine how crazy this video would have been if a mountain lion jumped on her back right at 0:59.
"Two fatal attacks.." ahhhhhh!!! Talk to him. He understands english!!!
@@Daniel_Antonio_Arellano782 Talk about a 'random .. irrelevant' comment.
I’ll probably never encounter one, but if I do I guess now I’m prepared
summary: belly rubs, chin scratches, piggyback rides
north americas largest feline predator? is a jaguar not considered a feline predator? they are larger than mountain lions.
