- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- This film follows the story of six mountain lions in the Northern Rockies. When the resident male is killed by hunters, one of the young males gains control. We follow him tour his territory as he establishes himself: defining its boundaries, stalking and hunting the deer herd whilst learning what it means to be an adult male.

Hunting for food and skin for survival i dont have an issue with. Hunting for the thrill of the kill is just sick.
Predator control is a vital part of wildlife management. Please do research on predator/prey crash. Take care.
@@nmelkhunter1he’s talking about humans not the cats
@@Spirit_gam If you say so…
@@nmelkhunter1 They don’t need management. They only prey on weak individuals, which helps the prey population. Trophy hunters don’t kill for management. They kill for fun. By the way, we humans have no right to complain about wild animal populations when we, ourselves, are highly overpopulated.
@@osamanazzal4302 Not true. They are opportunistic and that’s a fact. What’s more is they do need to be managed since they will eat each other out of house and home. I trophy hunt and I eat what I kill. We do need a reduction in the human population…
Hunting an animal for food and survival is one thing, but I cannot begin to fathom why people feel the need to kill something as beautiful and as a pure as a mountain lion for no other reason other than sport. Considering the intelligence and self awareness human beings possess, my God… we’re such a let down…
Yeah they call it "hunting" but all they did was tree it with dogs and shoot it with a rifle. Nothing sporting about it. Now that majestic beast sits stuffed in some asshole's living room.
I highly doubt humans possess intelligence. If they did, they wouldn’t kill for fun.
@@osamanazzal4302true
Animals are more productive to the ecosystem and way more beautiful when they are alive!! Humans always take and never give back
Agreed 100 percent. Humans ruin everything. They’re too arrogant and stupid to realize that animals have as much right to live as we do.
What is wrong with humans, what was the point. Wow your dogs sniffed out a cat and you shot it in a tree where it couldn't escape and couldn't evade the bullet.... wow real talent
Nick Holden I agree.
Nick Holden Agree
Somebody forgot to educate you regarding humans being the top predator!
Will Yam someone forgot to educate you about food hunting and trophy hunting.
Will Yam Somebody forgot to educate you on how to be a decent human being.
Every time my wife called me a lion in the sack i thought it was a compliment. Then i watched a lion documentary and realized it's because i only last a minute😵
Yea, but they do it for a week long maybe 30 to 50 times a day.
oh dear! 😂
LMAO!
A very nice doc. If the hunting in the beginning wasn't part of it, it would be much better.
100% agreed.
yes for sure
I hunt deer, but why would you want to kill a mountain lion or bear... fr I feel like that thing should be left alone... if you dont eat it you shouldn't put it on you wall smh
I think that's a great way of thinking and respectful of you man if only others actually followed these simple things.
I think that's a great way of thinking and respectful of you man if only others actually followed these simple things.
I’ve heard mountain lion is actually really good and also biologists across the board recognize the need for population control of lions. Here in California hunting lions is banned but state officials still slaughter HUNDREDS and do not salvage the meat or hide.
Because overpopulation of lion would decimate your deer populations.
Exactly. The populations are not that high in these animals for us to worry about them. There is definitely enough deer to provide for them and us.
I don't see the sport in shooting the cat in a tree from 10 feet away.
There's no sport at all. One cannot even use the lion for food--it's just a trophy on the wall of the hunter. I believe God will judge these so-called hunters who destroy His creatures for nothing at all. God says He will destroy such as these:
Rev 11:18 ...and them that fear Your name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth.
This means the earth and everything in it.
It is the sport of sports. Heaven forbid, it shows the ultimate display of courage and guts to be 10 feet, 10 bloody short steps from a wild rampaging killer beast. And to think that the noble hunter has to actually raise the muzzle of his gun before he fires! Do you folks realise how bloody heavy the muzzle of gun is? It's a supreme feat of strength, indeed it is! Can you imagine the training our noble hunter had to undergo in order to achieve such supreme physical fitness? Now the next thing is to aim. Concentration plus cos this huge beast may launch a deadly attack at any time. Then the coup de gras as the index finger, readies itself for that short, sharp pullback. Another feat of strength that can only be matched by someone who has spent countless hours in the gym on the finger walker, the finger rower, the finger cycling machine and the index finger dumbells (yep! I can't help thinking they were named after him). Then there is the kickback to contend with, the training for which involves extensive shoulder strengthening, bone strengthening to prevent a shattered shoulder. Dear Eric Debord, I hope you now understand how a hunter with a gun needs to possess the most supreme of skills and a supreme level of physical fitness to be sure he can kill a nasty, deadly beast at such a short range. May these sportsmen live on to continue completing such incredible feats!
yeah f that, that is not hunting.
Hunters will get mad on this ahahaha 😂
steve billiter i know people that have eaten mountain lion and bear. They all say that its delicious. If you ask people t hat live in these wild area they will tell you that the lions are elusive but plentiful.
It's strange, when a lion is found on a ranch somewhere in the wilds of Montana we say , "he invaded our territory" but we don't say we invaded his territory when we go In And claim a thousand acres or so of where he lives.
Because we are humans, the stewards of these magnificent beasts
I strongly agree with you Charlie 👍

Youd never survive in the wild then.. If the world was to come to a end youd be one of the first to perish. I had a friend who was stalked by a mountain lion while hiking with his girlfriend & their 8 year old daughter. Now imagine if that was one of your family members. Youd change your opinions on these predators that you obviously think is just like a house cat 🤦♂️ You need educated more on nature. 🙄
@@whodidwhat32 Lol. What are you on about!? People would gladly kill another person!, yet alone an animal, that's about to kill them or their family!!....But Hunting for game is just wrong, end of!!
The most impressive wild animal you will ever see. Very dangerous and extremely unpredictable, silent and stealth, a killing machine, so awesome.
Why the most impressive tho?
@Coralette Hannon mountain lions have almost a 90% success rate vs other big cats like a cheetah which has a success rate of only 40-50%
Neither is a big cat

@@michaelchristian5089 true
They are more closely related to house cats than they are to any other cat. They’re literally giant house cats.
I don’t disagree but mountion lions are also very dangerous
Before anyone else gets upset - I'm sure the 'hunt' at the beginning was a simulation meant for the 'story', and for several reasons ; the men's clothes were obviously brand-new from the costume department, there are no shots of the actual kill, nobody filming such spectacular scenes of a mountain lion running through snow is going to stand around while it gets slaughtered, the dead lion was too stiff to have only just been killed and may even have been stuffed ... Sure enough, in the credits at 49:27 "Captive animals were used in this production." The names of their handlers roll up about 5 seconds before.
It doesn't matter - it's simply an accurate representation of what many people are willing to act like. Hunt it with your own hands if you think you're so tough, I'll allow that - take the risk of losing your own life if you dare to take the life of another. But this method of hunting is utter cowardice and shameful hubris, completely disgusting, juvenile, uninitiated behavior. It doesn't matter if this film crew and the actual individuals depicted here didn't "actually" kill a lion, what matters it that the people who *actually* do this IRL don't deserve to live
I was wondering if it were simulated too.
Same thing I said about the captive animals . Kevin Richardson uses a number of his gorgeous lions for films and documentaries. It’s aweful tho I’m clinching at the suspense I don’t wanna see this animal get hurt ugh! I’m only in the beginning but from what I see they don’t even show the dog and mt lion together
@@jameshead4737 i agree with you James. lisa
@@beautywithin947 what documentaries are they please, and what films? I'd love to see them, especially the documentaries. TIA... Lisa x
I can understand that you may hunt in order to eat BUT trophy hunters are intrinsically wrong, and this does not do any good to trophic chains and the health of ecosystems, so their "arguments" are just lies, plain crap!
There are a lot of beneficial stuff that come from trophy hunting this isn't one of the cases but you should look up on it it's really beneficial to the animal in prestine casses.
Well we can use the abortion argument. It is just so hard to hunt down food that they would be better off dead. So we are really just doing them a favor.
@John F so killed endangered animals so you can pay your bills and fill your pantry?
@John F ... As a 68 year old hunter, I've seen where the wolf fanatics got their wolves... Hunters, that spend millions of $$$$ a year ... Small rural towns depend on fishing and hunting. and the wolves killed off the turkey, deer, elk, ect. FINALLY this year, after spending millions, they helicoptered in government hunters.. and killed them all... Because NO BODY else wanted them in their state... Wolves are cool, i agree.. But are in direct conflict with the wants and needs of the MAJORITY...
@@adamtig3306 How is it beneficial to a dead animal?
"Earth is a GIFT to us we NEED to respect it and treat it with KINDNESS and LOVE.Words that those trophy hunters don't understand."
They will only stop it if you Use fear on them they need to be thought a lesson how we should save mother earth not poison it
ya we should'int kill animals... so let's let all the cows (and more livestock animals) go so they can overpopulate themselves destroy grasslands and fart till they blow up the world!
This has nothing to do with throphy hunting or lions... just vegans.
i only watched the first 5 min i knew better !!
its too late we have irradiated our planet,pumped chemicals into the atmosphere..we still have female sex slaves all over the world,poverty for no reason really,capitalism in an not so free market.Leading to unemployment and greed....Our species is doomed.
Sport hunting should be abolished . I don't get the fascination and it is wiping out all the beautiful animals future generation could be enjoying.
David Holcomb With the words of Bill Maher: “How do you call it a sport if one of the teams is completely unaware it’s playing?” Plus, they have to wear camouflage to hide their presence! Ts ts ts shameful
Tree Hugger OH.....You think trophy bucks are easy game? They know they are being hunted some survived to die a good old age. It's a fair game according to my rule book. Big bucks are elusive!
It's only sad that the tables aren't turned and it was YOUR ass being hunted. Now THAT would be a "fair game".
Terri, I have a God given right to hunt game and you aren't going to stop me if I choose to hunt. Do you worship the Creator or the creatures that he created?
Everything about your response makes you look like an inbred tool, Donny. Peace.
Those baby mountain lions are adorable :).
Yeaah?
very x
That's so sad. A beautiful animal on his own territory and humans come to invade his space and destroy his life. How dare them! That is so horrible. How could they sleep at night?

seriously man, what type of question is that? Are you for real. Going into HIS territory and killing him for their own sick pleasure. Its bloody (excuse my language) sickening 😑. sorry if you don't like my comment. lisa. 🇬🇧🤍🦋
We must expect to pay a price for choosing to live in remote areas, the wilderness & for invading areas of land long inhabited by predators that call it home. It's unfair to pursecute a species to extinction for our own benefit, as every creature has the right to live in its habitat without being pursecuted or hunted down & killed because we want to steal it's home.
We have done repeatedly this all over the planet & diminished the richness in our world by doing so. We need to evolve beyond the greedy, selfish species we are now & begin to honour the lives of all of the creatures that inhabit this planet with us & their right to live, as well as have somewhere in which to do that unimpeded by our encroachment.
We're such an arrogant, brutally thoughtless & selfish species. There's little hope for humanity's survival as a species, if that doesn't change & change very soon, along with very quickly. We can change if we choose to do so. We just need to choose to do it.
I've lived in Colorado foothills my whole life and I have seen a Mountain Lion one time when I was outbound for a sales job. It was running across the road about 300m in front of me. She was cute and I love her.
I've seen these animals more than once in the deep hills of Eastern Ky.
Smh I hate "sport hunting" wtf is wrong with people... So underwhelming
Fr they might as well call it killing for fun. Sick. They aint even bothering anyone. && look at the type of people who always doing it...
Why do the uneducated always use the terminology of so-called sport hunting. Hunting plays a major role in conservation.
@@peterfinch4074 and it plays a major role in extinction too when theres no reason for it. Why do you need to hunt a cougar or a wolf or a lion or something like that? Their numbers are already limited. But the fact of sport hunting is a lot different then going to hunt like deer just to put dinner on your table. Deer is definitely in abundance and needs controlling and causes danger to humans on the roads and also people use it for food.. but even when people stuff the deer head n put it on their wall like a trophy.. Smh.. Sport hunting is just immoral. Killing for fun. Like what do you get out of it? Especially animals like that which are already having low populations. We cause deforestation and ruining animals habitats too. Like a lot of humans are just 🗑 Like who goes and hunts and kills a rare animal like an albino or black giraffe just for fun. Conservation my 🍑
@@kiauni6818 their numbers are increasing and the rules are very strict.
@@peterfinch4074 Humans kill for fun. You only care about having more deer for hunters to eat, not about the mountain lions.
Wasn’t expecting them to show hunters on this documentary. I had no idea it was even legal. It was upsetting for me... just saying
The footage is so spectacular it's hard to believe this is real and not staged, like how did they get that footage inside the cave?
Found one in Alabama. People kept saying they saw one, I kept telling them it was bobcats they were seeing. Until they started to describe exactly what they saw and I sent them pictures of bobcats and cougars, each one verified cougar.
I went into the woods near where it's been seen. Found several cat tracks the size of my palm if not a little bigger. Not far from there I saw him/her. Watching me. Every move I made. Didn't get pictures but majestic. I figured it was just passing through on it's way to a new home. But it could live in this area. 75-150 sq miles here is plenty of food and water sources to keep one.
"I had multiple people telling me the same thing but I didn't believe them until I questioned them extensively about it." Do you think you're the only person who knows what animals look like?
@@nathanielferreira7415 a lot of the people who were saying they saw cougar, were sending me pictures of bobcats. No one had a picture of a cougar. Not that I have to explain myself to a moron on the internet.
It’s terrible that those hunters could actually kill that beautiful animal. That puma looks so similar to my cat! The face is identical! I was nearly in tears when they brought its body back as a “prize” 😢 *It deserved to live. It was minding its own business*
Same, I was so sad about that. poor thing...
Why did they kill it? Was this done through the Park Service or Dept. of Interior? I will never understand how they can call killing innocent non threatening animals-A SPORT!
@@jonathonspiers8397 Since we don't know why, there's no reason to be hysterical. These are no pussycats.
You have a strange cat, then.
@@nonenoneonenonenone Yes, that is true
These are the US states where hunting Mountain Lions is legal in some form or another; Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Arizona, and Nevada . If you want the hunting to stop we need to have the laws changed. If you live in one of those states take it up with your politicians. I am not a fan of trophy hunting, and I personally could not kill a beautiful creature like a Mountain Lion just to put it on a wall. 29,000 Mountain Lions have been killed over the last 10 years in the USA. Things really do need to change.
Such a disgrace to see them hunted...
Hunting manages wildlife populations. Hunting is a vital wildlife management tool. It keeps nature at a healthy balance of which the available habitat can support carrying capacity. For many wildlife species, hunting also helps to maintain populations at levels compatible with human activity and land use. Hunting is good.
If their not hunted the pop grows to big. Which means alot will starve. Or move into towns to eat your pets and nauw on your but.
@@averageguruenjoyer6938 1. Their populations are fine. Ours isn’t.
2. You’re hunting a species that’s native for the habitat and beneficial for the ecosystem. That ruins the ecosystem.
3. Humans are the ones with the carrying capacity problem, not mountain lions.
4. If we humans don’t like mountain lions around, then we can leave. Again, they are native to the habitat, not us.
@@averageguruenjoyer6938
1. Mountain lions don’t need managing. Their population is fine.
2. We humans have no room to talk about mountain lion overpopulation when they are a keystone species that is beneficial for their ecosystem and we, ourselves, are overpopulated.
3. Why do we need to hunt them for our activity and land use? They are native to the habitat. How about we learn to coexist with them and only kill them in self defense? We shouldn’t actively hunt them.
4. Hunting is good if it’s done for food. If it’s done for fun or “management”, then it’s a problem. Who are we to manage wildlife populations? We’re not God.
I came for a documentary about the powerful, majestic animals of the wild, not to watch one die. This documentary shouldn't have been filmed, hunting for sport is HORRID.
I cant watch videos of Cougars without some motherfuxker shooting it or talking shxt about it. They really do need to ban it California gets the point the other states need to follow
That jackass is not a hunter.He is a murderer,the lion never had a fair chance.
If you don't want to watch don't. Nothing makes me happier than watching a big cat die. I can't stand rap music, so guess what I don't click on rap music videos. That doesn't mean there is no place for it just because I don't like it.
@@darellcanup681
You're very disturbed.How is it that nothing makes you happier than watching a big cat die? I'll pray for you ,that you get help &a life.That jackass is not a hunter.He should have tracked the cat without dogs.Then maybe he'd be considered somewhat of a hunter.He's an out right murderer & should be ashamed to have that appalling act on film.
@Painter Mike
If anything this senseless murder reinforced the case to ban.
How does this rally support for "pro-hunting"?
That murderer is not a hunter,he simply walked up & murdered a defenseless beautiful creature of Earth.Wonder how he'd feel being run down by viscous dogs& forced to take to the trees &then murdered.#RIGHTTOLIFE

Thanks for posting nature videos about more than simply Africa's "Big Five," wolves and whales! It's nice to see shows about other animals, for a change. I wish there were more documentaries about aardvarks, mole rats and cassowaries out there, but you do an excellent job of showcasing a diverse array of what's available. Cheers!
people are so stupid sometime ,what did the cougar did to them, he where just living his life and just kill him like that :[
I hate this video
TO be fair if you kill and eat the animal i have no problem..but what i find is modern hunting is a sport for the would be serial killer.Its not about eating its about the power of killing a strong animal..hidden and from a distance which smells of serial killer.

@one stop if it needs to be banned then it will be. Thats totally fine. What I'm confused about is how you are suggesting that somehow hunting is a white person thing. Im not quite understanding how that logic works. Hunting has been an integral part to every culture ever, and for the most part, is a good part of the environment as long as its regulated, which for mountain lions, it is heavily.
It’s the year 2022, hunting hunters has been made legal 😎🤙 it’s the only way to make it fair 🤷♂️
For the life of me I can't see the thrill in shooting a cougar up in a tree with a rifle and scope. Just pull a trigger for some kind of sick, demented trophy. I can't fathom it. It literally makes me sick just thinking about human depravity directed at such a great animal as a mountain lion.

We got Lion on the red river in Texas and Oklahoma.
I drove up on one checking a trot line the first thing I noticed was his tail the 2nd was that it didn't run.
As soon as the big cat walked into the high grass it was gone , only lasted a few seconds but it seemed like time slowed down , It was very cool.
This sucks, ignorance first degree.
Mark Anthony It's not ignorance. It's selfishness and brutality. It is disgusting. They are cowards.
I know all these dipshit, uneducated "animal lovers" Dont know SHIT about conservation.
My grandfather used to hunt moose, deer and even bear in Alaska and Maine. MANY. Got pictures of his trophies, antlers and all. Some time before he passed, he said to my dad: “i wish i didnt kill so many animals” He realized what he had been doing for so many years. Im sure it ate his conscience on some level. Glad i never got into hunting. With all the wild pigs running around because of stupid people illegally releasing them.. thats a good enough reason leave cougars alone
CRUEL HUMANS,THIS JUST DISGUSTS ME!!
It's called wildlife management, which is crucial to a healthy ecosystem.
No its not. Nature will see to it itself.
Trophy hunters just kill for fun. The mountain lion populations are fine. Mountain lions are native to the habitat and more beneficial to the ecosystem than we’ll ever be.
These are such beautiful animals and to kill them just because they are known to be dangerous is wrong.. When and if you hear of them attacking someone It's not in a parking lot, it's in their own territory.. There is a movie named "Saving Sergie".. Excellent documentary.. they can be gentle.. What they know of humans is that they kill them sometimes just be cause so why wouldn't they protect themselves.. A senseless killing just because they can get away with it. Not ok at all!!!
People don’t realize that these mountain lion attacks will increase because they are being driven from their roaming lands. Mountain lions require a huge amount of space to live without (literally) going insane and attacking people/pets. We have pushed them into the smallest pieces of land and now they are showing up in downtown LA. These aren’t unprovoked attacks - they simply have nowhere to go because of roadways and human development.
Agreed 100 percent. Humans are arrogant and greedy. Mostly because of them, wildlife has gone extinct or is endangered. Humans need to stay in their already established spaces and stop encroaching into wildlife territories.
Such beautiful animals
5:29 seeing how that male puma moves through deep snow is incredible
Beautiful. Photography is outstanding.
If you ever hear that growl it will shake you to the core, a sound I have never forgotten. Sound of dearh.
Once heard a wolf howl, that shit sent chills down my spine even though I know a lone wolf would not dream of attacking me it was still scary.
Truly the most gorgeous, graceful, powerful & charismatic of the big cats for it's size. Utterly formidable & beautiful.
How anyone could want to kill such an incredible creature just for sport is hard to comprehend. They're no longer beautiful when they're dead, as they no longer move & our Mountain Lions are all about movement. Their true beauty is revealed only when their sensuous, muscled bodies move, which they can no longer do once they've become a stuffed trophy, a skin hanging on a wall or made into a garment. To destroy such a magnificent representative of evolution's ability to create perfection is a tragically cruel & useless waste. The sacrifice of a domestic animal now & then for invading the Mountain Lion's territory, stealing it's prey & home is a small price to pay.
I love animals and have a cat and this broke my heart 😢

I'll thumbs down this video because these hunter's make me sick. Karma will come to them, just wait.
quake3 That's because the mt. lion past lives were bad too!!!!

Namaste,
Yes you could say that but two wrongs don't make a right.
Don't think that was a point of the video
Males me sick to.. Killing animals for food I can see but for so called spot.... Fuck the scumbag trophy hunters.
The hunting was such a minor part of the video.
I'd like to know how you got such fantastic video of cougars in the wild. Your camera is always in the perfect spot at the perfect moment. Did you use some captive trained cougars in some clips? Incredible video.
Megantereon cultridens.
I know most nature documentaries use some captive caught animal footage and push it like it’s real. I can’t say for certain but I’m almost positive the shot of the lion in the cave came from a captive setting
Actually, mountain lions will scavenge kills of other predators as well as found carcasses on occasion if the kill is fairly fresh.
That's not hunting. That's cornering an animal in its own realm and needlessly killing it for pleasure. Sick individuals and I hope their sins catch up to them.
How does one get these beautiful clips and photos, this is magical to me. I watched this over and over. To say that I am impressed is one of the largest understatements on the planet
African Lion territorial disputes: *BRWAROAAHHHWAR claws flying*
Mountain Lions...
Lion #1: I'm in charge.
Lion #2: *No me.*
Lion #1: _ok._
What a beautiful documentary thank you so very much
Shooting a cougar trapped in a tree 3 feet away. Now that takes a real man!
Disgraceful.
awesome film thank you .
We should save animals and trees because they play a vital role in ecosystem.🤘😊👍💯
26:00 that’s wrong! Mountain lions still can be found almost all over South America, except on the region around Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay border.
The States as well. They are spread throughout, maybe not as much as in the mentioned areas. I'm in Oklahoma, and we have these beautiful cats here as well. Long live the Mountain Lion! 💙
If your not hunting to eat, don't hunt. Trophy Hunting is murder, sustenance hunting is about survival.
There's a time and place for all things, but all life should be cherished.
I hate hunters..
It's not sport... Its cruelty..
My dad's a hunter, and he thinks that hunting is only fun for the sake of the companionship with his friends, and doesnt believe in killing animals who doesnt stand a chance. He too think it's cruelty. So big support to you from me and my dad! (sorry for misspellings)
is it cruelty when a mountain lion mauls a hiking human who is peacefully enjoying nature?
BillyBigNutz Animals do not have the mental ability to understand cruelty, they act on instinct and learned behaviour. Since man fell out of the trees he has hunted, uncaring and greedily he has wiped out a number of species on this planet, and continues to do his best to kill of every A Rhino.(if hacking off half their faces just for what is a finger nail isn't cruelty, then I don't know what is) same with Elephants and big cats. Setting traps, and snares, poisoning carcasses, buying lions purely to shoot them, so he can claim his prowess. Do I need to go on?? It is now after a few thousand years, that predators see us as the apex predator. Mostly they will run from us recognising our form. However, if given the chance they will attack. After all, he who bites first lives longest especially where man is concerned.
BillyBigNutz No its payback id kill 20 people 2 lessen the population 2 many damn humans
Animals doesn't want to be anywhere near humans unless they have a choice! And we ought to know better-but noooo; simple minds can't think that far!
I live in the northern rockies - and sometimes fear of the mountain lion makes me forget it's beauty.
Just take the proper safety protocols and you're ok. I live in an area with cougars too, and I haven't even seen one yet. Very secretive wild cats.
@@grammarpolice9738 yep it may have seen you before you seen it. I was in a caracal cat area to learn that lesson
@@GoCrazy69 Oh cool. You must live in Africa then?
all will pay when the lord signals your doom.... beautiful creatures killed for sport not for food all will pay
First off they eat the lion, second...god isnt real and stop pretending animals live forever. it that or they starve to death slowly
I kill cats to eat them
The cat was never going to get away, having to make a path through the snow is much more exhausting than the dogs already having the snow plowed for them.
Terrific documentary. Excellent photography and full of interesting facts about these animals. For the sensitive viewers- the opening hunt scene is simulated. Relax. Bambi was just as real. So many people on here are too anti-hunting. It’s habit loss that causes the destruction of species, not modern regulated hunting. Most hunters I know are the most compassionate conservationists you’d ever meet. Go after housing developers and farmers, etc. if you’re really concerned with the loss of nature.
Damn, it was? I'm not against hunting, but I wouldn't want to hunt a predator. A, because there aren't enough of them and B, I wouldn't care to eat a mountain lion lol
We've had fatal attacks happen to hikers & mountain bikers in CO but, they aren't to blame, as we know we've invaded their lands & are pushing them out. Also, it's our responsibility to be wary, when we venture into the wilderness & to take precautions to protect ourselves. If we know we're heading into potential lion country either biking or hiking, etc..., we don't go there alone. We carry protection & pay careful attention to our surroundings at all times. Being irresponsible visitors to the CO wilderness can be fatal due to a number of causes & lions can be among them.
In CO the wilderness can be ur own backyard, if u live on the front range in areas encroaching on lion territory. Here, people can pay a heavy price for being too greedy, selfish, careless &/or thoughtless.
Thank you to all of you who think and feel the same as I do about these beautiful animals for your comments, you have saved me much heartache from watching this video for myself. The human race is the most selfish and cruel out of ALL species. 💔
its really sad Leah, poor animals getting killed for no reason,and by animals I mean like lions, bears, tigers, hippos etc. it really is heartbreaking 💔 😢. Lisa 🇬🇧💜🤍💙🦋
You both clearly need educated more on wildlife.
The most beautiful of all the big cats.
This Scumbags hunters, how they can kill such an amazing and beautiful animal?!
FUCK OFF. look at the facts. Hunting manages wildlife populations. Hunting is a vital wildlife management tool. It keeps nature at a healthy balance of which the available habitat can support carrying capacity. For many wildlife species, hunting also helps to maintain populations at levels compatible with human activity and land use. Hunting is good.
I have seen signs of mountain lion. Living in Montana for over 20 years, and spending lots of time in the woods, I have never seen an actual mountain lion in the flesh. I’ve even heard them! Maybe someday.
How could you kill such a wonderful creature
They have no soul or heart they're only happy when they kill. It probably makes them feel tuff or something. Pure evil.
All life have right to live. No one can decide their future.
I used to think the jag or tiger were the most impressive cats because of their swimming abilities setting them aside from the other cats. The puma is remarkable being able to live in different habitats alongside speed, power and climbing abilities. It's like a lion mixed with a leopard♨♨♨♨♨👍👍👍
But a jaguar is bigger, stronger, faster, more versatile(better climber, swimmer, and runner), and the strongest bite force of all the big cats. I don’t think a puma has a single advantage actually against a jaguar.
@@810cocoa Very true, I make you right👍🦾
Apart from speed and agility on land
@@810cocoa We can't just love all of them? lol Btw I think one advantage is that a puma is more resistant to the cold, so they are better adapted to colder locations.
@@810cocoa Thats true but still all the big cats are remarkable.
Courting a cougar looks dangerous 😂 careful boys!
The narrator stated many key points that are both true and agreeable. I admire mountain lions, sure they look aggressive and might attack, but they are still part of nature and without them it feels empty. Just like all animals they deserve the right to live, the fact that they are the most widespread mammal in the Americas doesn't mean they should be eliminated.
One key point which was interesting is that encounters are rare but because the mountain lion didn't invade our home but it was man who invaded their homeland, we must allow them to rule freely regardless of where we live even if sightings/encounters occur.
GOD GAVE MAN DOMINION OVER THE ANIMALS FISH FOUL
AND EARTH. THE FOREST DOES NOT BELONG TO THE ANIMALS IT BELONGS TO GOD. AND MAN HAS DOMINION OVER IT. WHY DO PEOPLE LATCH ON TO THINGS PEOPLE SAY AND HOLD THEM LIKE THEY ARE TRUE. NO WHERE DID GOD DELARE THAT THE FORESTS AND WILDERNESS BELONGS TO THE ANIMALS MAN AND THE ANIMALS SHARE THE LAND. AND MAN HAS THE RIGHT TO USE THE TREES LAND AND THE ANIMALS FOR GOOD PURPOSES FOR FOOD CLOTHING SHELTER AND OTHER REASONS
S GOD OWNS EVERYTHING
Poor cat minding its own business . How I would love to hug and feed that poor frightened cat
😭😭 Очень хороший фильм, 👍 большое спасибо авторам , и большое 😠👎 охотникам
Huh.
@@pedrocampos691 translate to English
WTF!! How can these cowards call that "hunting"?! Ridiculous! All they did was unleash a bunch of dogs who chase a beautiful cat up a tree and then the guy just blows it away while it's stuck up in the tree! Unbelievable & Unconscionable in my opinion!
High quality film footage with all the natural beauty of the Rockies in summer and winter make this a valuable documentary. The narration and voice quality are excellent along with the knowledge of these big cats.
They've made their way back east all the way to Ontario. They were once only found in the rockies thanks to people. The grizzly bear is having a much harder time living in the plains.
Incredible footage, just an amazing animal and the country is equally so. I agree with the many others here in the idea that hunting these ridiculously beautiful creatures is unnecessary, haven't humans smashed their numbers enough already?
This is the great documentary of American Lions.
Can You Make About The Jaguar?
The Tiger Of South America.
I love jaguars.
Mountain lions have the grace and beauty of a ballet dancer
Damn I'd like to bag me a few hunters.
You kill a mountain lion and then you talk about how good and powerful they are. Then why did you killed one?!!
