My granpa always told us "If you hear a woman screaming in the woods, go the other direction. It's not a woman. That is a mountain lion."
There are numerous bobcats in Durango, Ia. It's right on the Mississippi river, way up on a tall bed of forest & rocks. My sis lived clear up on the bluff, just north of Dubuque. She warned me about the bobcats & when I heard it the first time, I was ready to get in my truck and drive home. It's a horrible, bloodcurdling noise. I stayed for two weeks & every night became Screech central. The bluff is beautiful, but I am not going back.
Sounds like the beginning of a horror movie plot, “The Woman in the Woods” 😰😬😬
@@BarbiesWorld62 bobcats aren't bigger and more dangerous for people than domesticated cats. OMG, I just recognized that you said about the mountain lion and not the bobcat, okay. Small fix there is more kinds of bobcats, their subspecies have between 20 to 75 pounds (average weight).
That literally happened to me and my girlfriend sounded like a witch or something and we ended our hike at that point lol.
Jesus that's sound fuckin' creepy man
Imagine being a male mountain lion just roaming around, and in the distance you hear this horrifying shit, and you're just like "oh hell yea, sound like a bad bitch"
Hahahahahah
Comment of the year right here
holy hell, thank you lol
Lmao wow 💀
😂😂😂😂
More like,"hey Clarence, the wifes looking for you"!
Growing up near a lot of farms, hearing this as the sun goes down as I worked on the field made the hair on the back of my neck rise higher than it has ever been before.
No other sound has scared me as much as the cry from a mountain lion. But I am so damn lucky to have been able to hear it with my own two ears. Such a cool animal, if not also one of the scariest things out there.
I would never
Do you have any idea why it would make that continuous scream? Is it courtship or what?
My grandfather told us he bumped into one as he was walking on the road beside his farm, one time.
They looked at each other then parted ways.
@@matthewmosier8439 he probably was a big dude did not wanna fight
@@brownleatherboot277 It is indeed courtship, that's what a horny cougar sounds like. They scream like that because they tend to live far apart in their own territories and the scream tells their neighbors that they are in season and looking for a mate.
Less than a percent of a percent of the entire world gets to hear this. He just sits there like he’s heard it 100 times and it’s not a big deal. It’s an amazingly rare sound!
I have that exact call sequence on my foxpro electric call. That's a foxpro.
@@OldSoulOutdoors Actally had to look up what the heck a foxpro was. Well now my balloon is quite deflated. Thanks for the info though.
That's what bein a hunter does for ya. I hear and see all kinds of weird things out there when I hunt.
i hear it every night with your mom
this a-hole man is there to kill innocent animals. he ain't hear it 100 times because he is deaf and dumb like your elders.
2019: terrifying cougar scream!
1819: FOREST'S HAUNTED BY A WITCH
The bible literally says the forest is filled with evil. What else were they supposed to think? They weren't exactly the most logical of people to begin with.
@@Alizudo I am going to need an exact source on that myself.

I don't believe in the bible at all. But the colonists loved that shit.

That's what i exactly thought when i heard the scream 😂
My sis and I were strolling through the back roads of Mississippi when we heard this and she said,
It's time to get home NOW.
I didn't know any better and I thought a woman was in trouble and thought we should help her, but I was just a kid and did what my big sis told me too. Once we got home she told me what it was.
I lived there for two more years and that scream was a weekly thing around our home.
Was probably a bobcat in Mississippi. Either that, or foxes can make some pretty wild screeches.
@@internet_internetThere are Lions in MS.
@@Armistead_MacSkye
Then they must be so rare, that no one whose job it is to catalogue all the wildlife in the area has confirmed their existence.
@@derekbates4316 There are also stands of Ivory Bill Woodpeckers. Mankind is not smarter than wildlife. And by Lions, I mean Panthers or Mountain Lions.
@@Armistead_MacSkye
But, you're apparently smarter than ppl, whose job it is to report extinct wildlife like Ivory Billed Woodpeckers or Mtn. lions?
Around 1979, my parents and 6-year-old twin sister arrived home late at night in southern Indiana. We lived way out in the country and there was no light (not even a porch light). My dad went to pull his house keys out of his pocket and proceeded to examine the set to pick out the house key. At that point, we were relying on night vision so this took several seconds. It was at this moment I heard that scream.
My dad dropped the keys on the ground in a panic and the family cowered in fear bending down to search for the keys for what seemed like an eternity. While it sounded like a screaming woman, the sheer volume made us realize this was a mountain lion. I remember that like it was yesterday. It took me a week before I went out into that woods again - but there was no sign anything had been back there.
That was probably the most scared I had ever been in my life.
Me: Sleeping in my tent having a good night
A mountain Lion: I'm about to end this mans whole camping trip
Your comment just made my day
That's Satan buddy not a mountain lion.
Sleep in your truck, that's what I do. I ain't having shit fuck with me while I sleep, oh hell no.
how come these types of shitty comments that are ALL OVER the place are considered funny? this just boggles the mind.
Mountain lion:*inhales sharply* AGAHAGGAHAHAGAHHAAGAGAHAHAGAHHAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAG
Imagine hearing that lovely sound while camping at night
It's tree climbing time!
I'd shit the crap outta my pants
I think I have, or something very close to that. Not particularly fun I might add.
@@ARJUN76543 I think a mountain lion can climb a tree
@Bill for real, they sound like a woman screaming bloody murder being brutally stabbed to death lol scared the shit out of me when I was sleeping in a lean to one night.
Mountain lions must prefer the taste of heroic men. Hiding in the woods and screaming like a woman in pain to lure your food in is just diabolical.
Its a loud mating call since mountain lion territories are far apart
I’ve heard something very similar to this a couple times alone in the mountains in the pitch dark. It was so dark once I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face. You don’t wake up slowly when that happens, you go from 0 to 100 in 3 seconds. Heart thumping stuff. The good news is they never bothered me. They quit talking after a few minutes and when I woke up in the morning all of my pieces and parts were still attached.
How do you know how many times he’s said it.
excuse me id like to interview you about the debilitating condition knows as enourmous balls
No wonder there used to be folklore about monsters in the wilderness
@Lord Bolton right? So true because everybody knows Native Americans didn't sit around fires talking about mythical creatures at all 😂😂😂
Even a red fox has quite a yell. I hear them at my house, sounds like a woman yelling.
@@SwiftJester3412 And Kokopelli!
@Lord Bolton You're a literal moron xDD
There *are* monsters in the wilderness. Not people thinking there are because they hear a weird noise.
Should probably find a different hunting spot. Every deer within 20 miles likely took off at mach 3 after hearing that.
How do you know he’s not hunting the mountain lion
@@ellllllo77 He doesn't have a big enough gun. I'd go with at least an AC-130. Put us on even ground, ya know
@@jeremy9678 "even ground" 😂😂😂
That’s a call he has set up. Pretty sure it’s a FoxBox...
I'd go with a Kornet anti tank missile
Heard this once while camping at night. I was about half a mile away from my vehicle. The glow from the fire made it scary because i could only see about 15 feet into the woods. Even my husky was scared. It was tough falling asleep after that !
If a cat wants to hurt you, you won't see or hear it until it's too late
@alanabear2736 haha agreed.
My friend Brian lived up in the Angeles National Forest in So Cal. I took my young daughter hiking to the first camp before Mt. Wilson. My friend met me after dark. We sat around talking, while my daughter slept. We were trying to enjoy the nice evening in the forest. Some Boy Scouts had arrived after my daughter and I, and set up camp. They were really loud, kind of messing up the peacefulness, even after 9pm. Brian said, "check this out" He then let out a blood curdling scream, followed by a couple more. The campground fell eerily silent. Peace at last. It was really similar to that lion scream. Brian had it down. Good memory.
Imagine the people thousands of years ago hearing that in the night. Sounds like a fucking demon banshee
Dan M Pffft, those people would probably make noises too😂😂 OHOHOHOH AHAHAHAAH😂😂
Those people would go after it to eat it
And then think about the other, now-extinct North American big cats like Smilodon and American Lion tens of thousands of years ago that the first people would have encountered and how terrifying that must have been to hear. Incredible to think about.
TheDubVee also jaguars
Oh man that comment made me laugh 😂
And that's why people in the past thought ghosts lived in the forest.
That, and all the actual ghosts.
And the skinwalkers.
samuelmagic22 THATS CORPSE HUSBAND'S CREEPYPASTA HAHAHA
There are hunters out there claiming to track these screams. The thing that makes me wonder the most is that they usually can't locate any source. Not even a mountain lion...
Metal Lizerd hahahaha thats what i was thinking
of coarse they can't find the Lions. they find you first, silent Apex predators
Heard it in 1968 while camping/fishing with my dad in eastern ky . I was 13 . Makes your skin crawl .
When you're alone and hear this you piss your pants
When you're with your buddy you go "This is so cool!"
I can only imagine what was going through early settlers minds hearing that lol
"Alright I'm going back to England"
"Is gold really worth it?"
“Back on the ships! I’ll take my chances on the sea!”
"Thou shalt not pass the forest " 😂😂😂
@@clogiz or France those are the 2 settlers from Europe
Wife: Oh honey you’re back from your camping trip early.
Husband: Forest is haunted.
Wife: What?
Husband:*loading glock and getting in truck* Forest is haunted.
lmao this little scene here was playing out in my head as i was reading it. funny. the man is too disturbed to say anything more than "forest is haunted"
Travis Wilkins fr. I read it like this “Forest... *opens truck door* is... *steps on gas before closes door* haunted”
A glock won't put a dent into a mountain lion mate.
Only a glock?
This comment is the best lol
I appreciate mountain lions and when you hear something like this in the wild, it is both awesomely frightening and unforgettable. I took a break from school to work at a remote summer camp that had a domesticated female lion in captivity as part of their science program. One of my most enjoyable duties each day was to set out of fresh food and water and clean out her large outdoor enclosures. Also each evening I would either hike or ride an atv up to her area of the property and prepare her food for the next day. One winter evening when I arrived alone at the nature center, now in pitch black darkness, I turned off my atv motor and lights and immediately felt goosebumps and the hair on my skin standing up. I froze on the edge of my seat and the very next instant the pitch black darkness exploded with the electrifying loud wailings and screams of a mountain lion. I immediately powered on and scrambled out of there, returning at daybreak to finish caring for her and to check the perimeter for tracks. I figured it was a wild boyfriend who had come around to pay her a nocturnal visit. This remains for me an unforgettable experience that I value highly and that helped age me prematurely.
While working cleaning ditches on our family farm back in the '60's just before dark my Dad and I heard a wildcat screaming like this. Our bottom land fields tied into a big slough coming off the Green River. I wanted to get the heck out of there but Dad waited for more screams! He lit a cigarette and waved his Zippo around, telling me it won't come any closer seeing the flame and smelling the tobacco, which means 'men are nearby'.
If I heard that in the woods at night and my friend told me "don't worry, that's just a mountain lion" I don't know if I should feel relieved or even more terrified.
"Oh thank god, that sounded really scary for a second the- wait, A LION!?"
It's not actually a lion
It's a cougar, contrary to common belief
Puma, cougar, panther, mountain lion. All for names are the same animal. Not a lot of people know that
@@duckduckduckduck8932 its actually a kitten
Ivan Garcia They aren’t panthers either
Nate Fontana yes they are
Not sure if mountain lion or Black Metal vocalist.
Irishman 313 LOL you just made my day
This was the last video I expected to see a black metal comment on. Fucking love it. 🤘🏻
LMAO IKR
I like it
Needs more shitty sounding guitar riffing and blast beats
This brings back memories. We were camping with my family in Yosemite. My young daughter started to vomit in the middle of the night. My wife asked me to go back to the car from our campsite (About 1/4 mile ) to get some ginger ale and meds to calm her stomach. As I walked through the campsite to the car and back all I could hear were growling black bears,very very close. Luckily afterwards I also had and took some anti diarrhea meds that I desperately needed.
"Honey, who possessed the mountain lions with demons with power far beyond our comprehension?"
"God damnit John, was it you again?"
We're spooked when we realise how close to a voice animals screams actually are. When we can almost hear a distorted human voice behind it, we're into uncanny valley
We are animals. We are simply more civilized. We don't hunt our food, we farm it to produce mass production and take advantage of the mentality we have...
Yeah it is uncanny. It sounds human, but at the same time the harmonics are all different and it sounds more metallic if that makes sense. Creepy... Oh and also because it sounds like a screaming woman, that's creepy too haha..
@@rodrigogomez5035 who said we don’t hunt? 😂 humans still hunt
@@XoXoG probably gonna get banned eventually just because. I'd probably still hunt/poach animals for food if that happen though🤫

Thanks for the recording and grandpa’s wisdom! That sound is burned into my memory.
I spend a lot of time out there alone. It hits different when you're alone.
I thinks my legs would put Usain Bolt to shame. That sounds like Satan's wife yelling at him for cheating.

@Bicc OG that's not the only thing we think about...
Was trail riding down a narrow, boggy, twisty trail at dusk when one of these screamed at us from up in a tree.. all the horses spun on a dime and it was a wild ride out of there! I'll never forget how scary but also absolutely thrilling it was.
Thank God you held on!!! Bolting horses + mountain lion above you 😱
Most animals are very silent. Tells you something about the confidence of this big cat, doesn't it?
Good point. The predators are the noisy ones- birds notwithstanding.
I think it trampled on a Lego
Seriously, that made me laugh!
Agreed
Lilly VonShtup I needed that laugh, thanks
It was yelling "Who the fuck left this here?!" in mountain lion.
Unoriginal.
When you bang your toe against the table leg
When you*

Yeah brah chill
I laughed way too hard at this 😂
Yea, I just did that this morning. This was exactly me
FACT I grew up in the woods and I have been in the woods all of my life and I own a ranch and basically nothing scares me. But that sound gives me the chills. If I can see the cat it does not bother me but there is something chilling about that noise.
It's us humans that have similiar voices to those animals, as far as I know no other animal can control the range of their voice better than us and mimic other animals
Knowing it’s just a mountain lion doesn’t make it any less chilling to hear, omg ._.
if you're alone at night and you hear that in a forest , i'd rather it was a ghost honestly
"just a mountain lion"
Your mountain lions are bigger than our Indian leopards...Oh never mind we have tigers.
Makes it even worse for me

Even though it’s a video, my spine still tingles and my eyes are watering a little. So, SO thankful that we don’t have these where I live

Imagine chilling around the campfire at night then you hear that...
Crazy scary!
🤣🤣🤣
Man I'd be ready to go lol
Next stop TOP OF A TREE😂😂
Keith Schultz Packing my shit and I’m out.!
I remember when I was 14 deer hunting, I walked pretty far into the woods and did not pay attention to time. The woods change at night, things get weird and disoriented. Walking up on a rabbit or deer will startle you, but I heard that dang sound. I admit, it scared me, I put my back to a big tree looking for one I could climb. maybe an old deer stand or something, I put the light facing out and fired two shots into the tree tops hoping the gun fire and falling debris would scare it. I never heard it again and it took me 3 hours to get home. Sound travels very clear at night.
I dont leave my tent or campfire after dark for basically any reason
Yeah.. I hear that at night I might just end it right there 😂!! I just got a trail cam pic of one where I deer hunt in Wisconsin, never expected it.. Gonna take a while to not be jumpy in the dark
Deer sounds like demons
Damn bro your badass
That’s a bit terrifying
I just heard this while sitting on my porch outside with my dogs. Went inside!!!
I’m both happy crying and crying out of fear, it’s so beautiful.

It’s hard for me to image this but the people of Gettysburg Pennsylvania used to hear this sound all the way back in the late 1940s and if anyone Is wondering where I got the info regarding mountain lions in Gettysburg I got the info from one of my paternal grandmother’s cousin who was growing up in Gettysburg Pennsylvania in the late nineties 1940s.
Years back in my childhood home in eastern San Diego county, we were sitting outside around 500 feet from the house looking at the stars when a mountain lion screamed similar to this but much closer. We ran back to the house. Next day, we called the local fish and game and asked them about it. They confirmed that the mountain lion had a tracker and was essentially in equal distance from us as we were from the house. If that thing wanted to attack, we'd have been gone for sure.
A sound so chilling we are hardwired deep in our DNA to be terrified of it.
I actually think that is why it scares us. Instinct is telling us “bro, I don’t care what that scream sounds like to you, there a fouler things than orcs in the deep woods”
Speak for yourself.
Fear causes you to make mistakes.
When I hear this noise, I am overtaken by extreme calm. Everything seems to slow down and I notice the smallest details.
Also it teach never mess with dangerous wild animal
@@combativeThinker you are so cool!!! Wow!
@@combativeThinker Lol no one cares how tough you are bro.
Heard one not far from us while fishing at the river last night, scariest walk back through the woods to the car ever...
Oh it was there watching you the whole way back to your car you can guarantee that.
GODOFWAR11011 Scary to think about...
hell yeah man, I went on a 5 week hike on the Appalachian Trail with my gf, around week 2 we were up in the northern part of Virginia. after hearing the cougar scream we went back to my car while we were doing just that every 5 minutes or so I would turn around and see a pair of eyes watching us every move we made. these shits could of slaughtered us at any moment.
GODOFWAR11011 Yeah they are very elusive, I still haven't ever seen one but we find tracks all the time and heard that scream that night.
Randycandy years ago my cousin and I decided to walk to a gas station, he lives in the mountains and the gas station is 7 miles away. Well we decided to walk in the middle of the night. And we heard this exact same noise off in the distance. Of course we heard it half way through our journey. One of the hard decisions of my life, turn around and run back home toward the noise. Or run to the gas station and call for a ride lol. Another interesting thing is a few weeks later we decided to walk again. Well about a mile down the road there is 4 old grave stones dating back to the 1700's well I swear we heard someone screaming help. Rumor has it that native Americans came through and slaughtered the folks that lived there. Needless to say we both have our licenses now so we don't walk anymore.
I was on my patio one night enjoying the evening with a few friends when we heard this. really killed the mood since we didnt immediately realize what it came from
Mountain Lion call - the cure for constipation.

If you listen closley you can tell they are playing a recording 🤣
Imagine you're in a confined deep red rock canyon in southern Utah, camping out alone off-season (the august monsoon flash flood season) and it's around midnight and you hear this sound echoing off of the canyon walls. I'll never forget that sound. There was a mountain lion down in that canyon with me. Just me and this big cat.
This doesn’t scare me. That thing out there vibing, practicing it’s singing voice.
Ok boys..hunts over..it's getting late..but its only noon..like I said it's getting late 😦
🤣I would be just like that
In mountain lion, she's saying "WE CAN DO THIS THE EASY WAY OR THE HARD WAY!"

Wow.. I don't camp very often, but I learned some very useful information with this video.
I tuck that right in my small survivalist database.
I was staying at my sister's, whose house was right on the edge of the Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois. We were sitting on her bed, talking, next to an open window. It was about 10 o'clock at night. Suddenly, right outside of the window, a mountain lion screamed just like this. The sound was so loud and so terrifying that for a second we just stared at each other, frozen in horror. Then she jumped up and slammed the window shut while I ran to make sure the dogs were in the house. That was one of the most primal and terrifying moments of my life.

last thing I would do is set the rifle down.

What did you expect him to do ?
First time I ever heard that I was about 11. My mom moved me and my brother from Texas too Montana. 1 day me and my brother left my uncles house to walk about a mile home and half way there we heard THAT SOUND! we were a half mile from home. Made it home I swear in under 10 minutes and we were crying our eyes out. As a kid or adult I never want to hear that sound again as long as I live.
I feel sorry for the women who are actually screaming and they think it’s mountain lion. Because they sound just like some type of possessed woman. 😂
Shot a buck one night and when I was dragging him out it was like 2 hours after sun down I heard some purring behind me. Very loudly and I got the most eerie feeling. I have been hunting all my life and been in the woods many times after dark with and without a firearm and I've never been spooked like this. I waa bowhunting that day and was afraid to carry my pistol even on my own land since I didn't have my carry permit yet and just didn't want any bullshit from game wardens etc. I heard the noise and knew it was way too loud to be a bob cat. When I would start to move I can faintly hear something behind me moving and when is stop and turn around it would stop. I knew then it was stalking me. I left the buck right there and put my bow in the sling on my bag took one arrow with a broadhead on in one hand and my Gerber knife in the other and walked slowly and confidently out while talking to myself loudly. Right before I crossed the fence back into my property from the WMA I was on I used my headlamp one last time to try and see it. At that point I saw the eyes about 100 yards away and as soon as I shined my light on it it crouched back down into some thickets and I was like omg... I walked damn near backwards the rest of the way until I got to my truck. I went back the next morning with my mini .30 and my dad went with me. We found the paw pad prints and the weirdest thing was the buck had not even been touched... the cougar was hunting my ass lol.. I carry a pistol now even when I rifle hunt but especially during bow and blackpowder seasons. If that ever happens again I will cling a tree an wait while I call someone or fire some shots and hopefully spook it off. I know they are amazing climbers but if I was in a tree with my pistol and one decided to climb up after me it would be an easy defensive position to fire from..
Carguy 2204 did it take your deer?
Your Average Joe 2 no that's the weirdest part the deer wasn't even touched. He or she was after me and I guess by the time I left it either started tracking something else and forgot about the deer or maybe it only wanted something live in not sure.
Carguy 2204 oh. At least you're ok
Carguy 2204 maybe just may be when it saw your headlamp it assumed you were Rambo and when you disappeared it assumed you were hunting it and left the buck as bait
Stephen Miller lmao I know attacks are rare but if your out at night and you know ones around and your not armed with a gun it scares the shit out of you or at least it did me...

@Some Guy then you dont deserve to
Lmao
I was only about 100 feet away from a mountain lion that crossed the rural road that my late great mother and I lived on in northern Minnesota. It just kept trotting along as if it never noticed me. They are so amazingly keen I bet it knew exactly where I was long before. So I about a 10 minute walk past where it had crossed the road and on my way back home and exactly where the mountain lion had passed was a 20 dollar bill! That was on a rural country road too and no major passing of pedestrians. I just told an Ojibwe man, a healer, and he just smiled the biggest smile. I quietly took it as a message to get some pepper spray from a local Army surplus store and almost exactly how much it cost.
What makes a mountain lion cry out like that? I never heard the mountain lion make any sounds and it's tracks were in the snow about 200 feet from our front door and I could tell it had perched in the low branches in the pine forest we lived in. I was alert and know they can be dangerous. I've been around bobcats but they are so keen they know you are there long before. I heard bobcat calls and they are really way out. It's like they do a whole array of sounds growls, screams, and low kind of vocal sounds even more scarier than this mountain lion. I wonder if the guy with the gun had wounded it or started shooting everywhere and frightened it.
Was walking back to my truck bow hunting and heard this down in a holler. Makes your hair stand up I honestly froze for a minute or so
Mountain lions are terrifying because very, veyry rarely will you ever see one before it sees you. And when it sees you, you're about to get treated the way a barn cat treats a mouse
Not always, aren't they normally docile? I may be thinking of jaguars... idk
@@blerpaderpmerp7468 ....Can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic. Mountain lions are not docile my friend lol. They are more terrifying than a bear because they silently stalk you, and aren't usually scared away by erratic behaviour of waving your arms or yelling loudly, like a bear might be. Cats of all kinds are some of the most ruthless hunters, even little domestic cats are violent hunters... big cats are that x10
Wait what?! I thought at least Jaguars were cool??? And there's a video of someone who scared away a cougar by just yelling "HEY HEY HEY STOP" at it and banging something that sounded like sticks????
@@blerpaderpmerp7468 - and jaguars are pretty docile, too.
The only time you have to worry about mountain lions or jaguars is when they're out hunting. And you're running. That's a prey trigger.
And, unless you piss one off, you are not _usually_ their prey.
This is completely inaccurate. Mountain lions do not hunt humans, and there is hardly ever interactions between the two. Stop spreading Bs
It’s all fun and games till the trees start speaking Vietnamese..
I’m crying. I get it’s a meme. But How does this relate ?
Ok 😐
Trees in the States don't speak Vietnamese,they just growl instead.
Lmfao! This comment just legit made me burst into laughter! 😂😭😂😭
Excellent job copying and pasting a comment in a completely irrelevant video
That’s awesome! Like a young bobcat only “way” more loud and aggressive👍🏻
Good video westin, from another weston.
Imagine hearing this late at night in the woods....
have you seen my friend?
Done did while Elk hunting. It's an amazing experience in person.
Gavin I saw it on tiktok, he got a carcrash and this is what we can hear. I was thinkingabout a women who is killed or something else HAHA. sorry for bad english
imara de vries I was thinking it was redcap
Just heard this while I was taking a walk towards the woods at 2:00AM hell Nah
I believe even a grizzly bear would think twice before heading out there.
you and 360 person who likes this.. are kinda.. hmm, you know.. urr.. stu.. pid..
@@Peliwat.Nusantara he was talking about the sound itself. Obviously a grizzly would maul a mountain lion
@@revenant9277 Do you think animals are stxpid? These bears got 70x stronger smell sense than a K9 dog.. They know it's mountain lion without even using their ears..
@@Peliwat.Nusantara ok
@@Peliwat.Nusantara I'm sure you've heard that even a dog can keep a bear that's 10x bigger from attacking it's injured owner just by posturing & growling.
That's because in the animal world the growling & other vocalizations are to posture to other predators specifically to make them think twice ... I've heard stories of dogs keeping mountain lions from attacking as well just by turning & looking in the direction of where they know the lion is coming from.
Animals know how to communicate with each other. It's us humans that don't know what we're doing most of the time. And the people who think they know it all are the ones that inevitably wind up becoming lunch for some predator they thought they knew how to avoid because they got cocky.
OP is probably right that a bear, hearing this scream would probably choose to avoid the confrontation.
Very eerie, sounds so human.
When you stepping on lego
😂😂😂
Relatable
Hahahahahahahhaha
Bruh.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's definitely a 3 star cougar.
Mehdi Kadi Imagina if they added this to rdr2
like a legendary animal that would be cool.
I killed it
Yep, definitely
Bobcats frequently do the multiple yowls(or several)....$.01
Oh my gosh! I would have been leaving very, very quickly after that 1st scream. I grew up in the country, in the Arkansas Ozarks but never heard a lion scream. If I had, I would not have roamed the hills and fields ever again!! That is a chilling sound. My house cats were not impressed, lol.
I have heard that sound in Pettigrew, AR. many years ago. Scared me to death!
I’m thinking scream therapy is what that mountain lion is doing-like, “I’m just going to go out to the woods and scream.” 😂.
Imagine going through this forest alone at night hearing this sound...Jesus Christ I'd run so fast Google wouldn't find me
EDIT: tnx for 250 likes :)
I wouldn't be able to run my body would be locked up and I would just have to take the fetal position and hope for the best 😂
Believe me when I say they still would find you
Robert Kendo I don’t have to outrun the cat just whosever hiking with me
No, but Facebook would.
No. Don’t run! Lol
When the missus comes home and sees the $300 fishing rod I just bought
What concern is that of hers? As long as you pay your half of the bills, it's not her business.
If you are the ONLY one paying the bills, it's even less her business.
Ok,what's this mean?
@@stylin60es Shoes are something you shouldn't buy for another in most cases, certainly if they aren't even present to try them on.
@@stylin60es Putting someone to the trouble of having to return and/or exchange something is not my idea of showing them a good time.
I've seen spontaneous people, as well as the chaos they create, and I must say I am little interested on taking a ride on the emotional roller-coaster they always seem to be on.
N.S Angling LMFAO
The mountain lion in the zoo wasn't nearly this loud! Thanks for posting!
I experienced this last summer while working alone in the woods, literally several miles from any roads or my truck. I just quietly walked the creek out. No other sound like it.
Imagine it at night!
I guess many of the stories attributed to witchcraft can be linked to mountain lion screaming.
@Yas Ayrad definitely no reason to be out there at night, lol. I live in western Oregon, and our cougar population has exploded. I work in the woods everyday and I've never seen a cougar, see lots of tracks though. But hearing that one screaming last summer freaked me out. Supposedly it's usually the female screaming trying to call a male in. They can both make that sound though.
this vocalization is called "caterwauling"; it's either used as male-male dissuasion call (clearly not the case here, because it would almost immediately escalate into a full fight, also quite noisy, but chaotic) or female-male mating call (most likely here, monotonous repetition: almost certainly a female in estrus, attracting males)
FUNDAÇÃO ANIMALIA thanks for explaining that. I thought maybe they shot it, wounded it and it was dying pissed and in pain.
Imagine if this was how humans attracted mates
Mating and fighting have two cat "voices". This was one cat and likely a female. Young males sometimes sound like this and they are the ones most likely to attack humans.
That roaring you’re hearing is from a FoxPro game call. I’ve used them for years when hunting and that cougar call is unmistakable. All you dumbasses over here falling for this thinking that’s a real cat going nuts in the woods.
FUNDAÇÃO ANIMALIA
I think u might be right but sounds deeper like a old er cougar if that means anything to u sir
Give me ur take my question
I can see why people back then believed in ghosts. it doesn't even sound like a lion. if I was in the woods late at night, or camping and I heard that, I would run for my life!
lildarlin379 Native what?
Well i believe cougars/mountain lions are more closely related to smaller ''house cats'', because that sure sounded like a big ass angry cat :P
It's not a lion.
Exactly what happened to a friend. I'm sending him this video to confirm if these are the same screams he heard.
@630247365
Yeah but natives were familiar with local animals and their sounds.
