Ambushed by a Mountain Lion
Ambushed by a Mountain Lion | Intense Wildlife Encounter | Nature Adventure Story
In this wildlife adventure I share the moment when I barely missed being attacked by a mountain lion as it lay in wait in a tree to ambush me!
Fortunately, the mountain lion shifted his weight as I approached his ambush tree and a branch cracked under his weight. Otherwise this account might not have had a happy ending, for myself or possibly the big cat.
Enjoy nature and your hiking and keep safe!

Snow Cat - Mountain Lion in winter habitat
มุมมอง 223หลายเดือนก่อน
This is from the mountain lion "ambush tree" trail camera. Lions have frequented this tree for years as evidenced by the amount of deer bones littering the ground under the tree. This site is in the Peace River valley in northern BC which has now become a large lake as the valley was flooded by a hydro dam. This tree and trail camera is above the high water mark and continues to document the ch...

    I've always read that the reason cougars aren't classified as one of the "big cats" is that they can't roar. Honestly that "roar" in no way matched what I've heard lions and tigers doing in zoos. It sounded more like a deep-pitched purr.

    • @kencosburn
      @kencosburn 17 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, apparently the Cougar/Mountain Lion/Puma of North America doesn't even have the vocal chords to roar. Which is why I thought this was so unusual.

    Healthy cat ! Am in the Columbia River Gorge on the N most Oregon side. Had me some incidences with cats up here as there's plenty of game for their diets. Recently had a buddy show me a foto taken recently in Washington state of a 6'' adult male human holding a deceased cougar around its chest with its feet on the ground n legs not stretched out much .. and the top of its head above the guys. The cougars head was twice the size of the guys !! .. A Younger-Dryas genetic hold-out .. er sumthin' !? Grizzlies are also down in S Washington now too as a report of a LARGE grizzly on the main road thru town the day before, reached me n a buddy when we were in the town of Glenwood(S Wash.) for a rodeo last fall. Wolves too !! Don't see either swimmin across the Columbia though ..
