"... two men paralyzed with fear for several minutes" - cut to 2 heavily armed hunters with grins on their faces, excitedly recording the mountain lion from a distance.
Why can't you apply the logic that r*p* "survivors" use when you point out to them that they seemed perfectly happy with the predator that they claim attacked them. Yeah, bit of counter-feminism for you.
The second video was just a cougar being exhausted from swimming and wanted a place to take a break . And the first video the cougar had no claws and it was missing teeth . This is terribly sad and cruel to do to a cat .
Yes, that was already a 'pet cat', and a relatively young one as well. You can see why they would not be a very good pet as it is still a very scary animal even with no claws or canines. They have a very fast and powerful paw swipe. A full grown healthy male or female would physically completely dominate any man. These cats even scare the shit out of most black bears. They are basically human sized cats. An adult female can weigh between about 90 to 140 pounds, and a male, about 140 to 220 pounds. The biggest one ever recorded so far weighed 276 pounds which is almost as big as an average female African lioness, and bigger than the average male jaguar.
You're right, I just posted that it had no lower fangs but didn't notice the claws. That is extremely cruel, abusive and criminal. The animal is doomed...
I noticed an extremely rare species of mosquito flying there and I assumed the arrow was just pointing it out. Had no idea there was a cougar there too
I’ve had 3 separate encounters with mountain lions while hiking in my lifetime of 23 years, I know videos like this are intentionally dramatic and exaggerated, but if you actually do a tiny amount of research, mountain lion attacks are incredibly rare. They’re generally timid creatures despite their size, it may be scary if you’re face to face with one but the chance of it being aggressive is very low, in all 3 instances where I spooked a mountain lion while out hiking every single one of them booked it from me fast as possible. So there’s really not much reason to be scared of mountain lions, they’re easy to scare away generally. If you have the misfortune of stumbling upon a mother mountain lion with her babies it’s very important to try to back away from those mountain lions soon as possible, while never turning your back on them. Edit: I went hiking in the dark recently around 3AM, after hiking about 2 miles in I spotted a pair of eyes staring at me intently, after making a bit of noise and trying to scare it off I started throwing rocks in it’s direction to no avail, other than some slight head movement. In this area I was hiking there’s Deer, Elk, Black Bears, and Mountain Lions, with mountain lion sightings not uncommon in the area, with its behavior and the size of the eyes I recognized it was a mountain lion right away, and that of a potentially aggressive mountain lion. As I mentioned, mountain lions are generally timid, especially my encounters with them, but I said generally. This one wasn’t at all dazed by my bright light, the noise I was making, or the rocks I was hurling toward it, after giving up on trying to scare it away I started hiking again turning around very often and making sure it wasn’t stalking me. I eventually lost sight of its eyes and continued on, about a mile after my encounter with the mountain lion I once again noticed a big pair of eyes staring at me, it was closer this time, since it did not run away just from hearing me I once again figured it was a mountain lion, I don’t know if it was the same one and it was stalking me, which is dangerous behavior when a mountain lion does that to a human, or if it was a different mountain lion, nevertheless, I once again started throwing rocks toward it and eventually hitting a tree which made a very loud noise this time it ran away but right as it ran away I could make out it’s figure and it was as I thought, it was a mountain lion. I still believe mountain lions are generally timid but not always, I think it being completely dark might of given the mountain lion a sense of confidence it might not have had if it was during the day, but it all ended well, I continued on my way after scaring it away, and I didn’t see it again. I was hiking alone in the dark trying to beat the heat, which turned out to be 95F that day, if you’re hiking alone in the dark I’d definitely recommend some type of protection, I highly doubt you’d need it but you can never know. 8/2/22
Absolutely right! Although the more people encourage them to come into residential areas, the greater the chance that someone will lose a dog or a child. I know of one of each. The child in northern Montana, and the dog near Nederland CO. I’ve seen them several times in Boulder, CO
@@ListlessSilence i don't think you are correct on this.... you were lucky that the mountain lions weren't hungry ..... they are Felines which means territorial and dominative traits of behaviour. They are hunters and it's in their nature to search for prey.
I was hiking one time with a buddy of mine , we were in a canyon , we started at about 6 at night just to hike back to this little kick it spot I know of, when we got there we didn’t expect it to be so dark, the sky was light but the canyon was like really dark. So we decided to just head back early, as we were walking back out of the canyon, I had my tactical flashlight pointed at the ground because I didn’t want to step on a rattlesnake or something, and out of nowhere we just hear something scurry off the ground and bushes being moved really loud. I point my flashlight up and I shit you not, a mountain lion was probably about 10 yards away from us up the trail , and it was big , we were looking at it in the flashlight only and it was just staring back at us . Me and my homie were just stuck looking between each other and the mountain lion, and it kind of pranced off into the tall grass on the right side , and as it was disappearing into the grass we hear the bushes on the left rustle around and a little baby mountain lion comes out and follows it’s mom across the trail. We stood there for about 30 seconds, and it’s a canyon so there’s only 1 way out, I’m lucky my homie was a big guy , cause I’m kind of small. So we just started walking past the tall grass and I was kind of beating the grass lightly with my trekking pole and shouting “hey don’t try it , don’t try it!” Lol but once we made it past the spot I kept shining my light back behind us every 3 seconds or so to make sure that shit wasn’t following us. It was honestly one of the craziest things I’ve ever experienced when it comes to wildlife. I saw a black bear one time in Wyoming on our way to Yellowstone , but we were in the car, not on a trail, and it was crossing the road between the trees. Anyway, just wanted to share that story, definitely an experience .
@@ryans.4715 In Connecticut we have so many black bear now that we have at least one every other day walking through our yard. Here we are sister states to NY, 90 minutes to NYC and bear here are so common. Quite a few people say they have seen a mountain lion around our area, I'm pretty sure I saw one , and one was killed by a car just a few towns away, yet the DEEP insists we don't have them. Id love to see one up close. Just not too up close.
@@ggolds5 Hi there. I am a neighbor to your north in Western Massachusetts. I have never seen a mountain lion in the wild, but many people here in the Northeast swear they have. Wildlife officials insist that there are no thriving populations up here. So if you see one, it is most likely a male that has wandered more than 1000 miles to get here. And the poor cat will never find a female to mate with. That was the case with your cat from Connecticut. So it is a dangerous long journey for them as they travel 1000 - 1500 miles or more crossing many treacherous highways to get here. Our ancestors were scared to death of these human sized cats, and hunted them to extinction in this part of the country. If they were to ever be reintroduced, it would take humans to make it happen.
One time I hiked from my house to the gas station. It's about half a mile of asphalt and level terrain. It was early morning and the only noises were cars in the distant and some faint sounds of dogs barking. After I got to the store and starting heading back, I noticed something had started to follow me. I picked up my pace a bit and started getting nervous. Suddenly a strange shape jumped from behind the high grass on the side of the road. I was terrified that it could be a mountain lion or cougar...but it was just my neighbors cat. My life is pretty average.
While hiking alone in the Eastern Sierras, I was stalked by a cougar. It followed behind me at close range and I wasn't aware of it until I turned around. Thankfully It chose to hide and not attack. Like sharks, they are around us much more than we are aware.
Yes, that was already a 'pet cat', and a relatively young one as well. You can see why they would not be a very good pet as it is still a very scary animal even with no claws or canines.

@tonyprice2256 I see them in my yard all the time. You wont see one in the wild over 120 lbs. Honestly I am more nervous around bobcats they are way more random in their actions but much rarer to see.
No, that's not true. God gave this world for us. The difference is, is If the lion walks in my lawn I won't kill him. If I walk on his he will rip my organs out.
When I was 7 my family visited our farm property in eastern Washington as weekend warriors. Driving up a cougar was walking on the side of the road. My dad made no big deal about it. We set up a tent while it was walking across the road. Saw it a few times that summer. It kept its distance, had plenty of deer and elk. Never had any issues. Respect the animal and it’s ability to kill. Do not fear or vilify the animal.
Yeah cougars don’t tend to attack humans unless they’re starving and there’s no other prey around. I ran into one once and it paused to stare at me. My reflex as a cat owner was to slow blink at it and then look off to the side, because that’s how you communicate to cats that you are friendly/mean no harm (it’s pretty universal among all felines even the big ones). It accepted that and just calmly walked off.
@@violetblythe6912 Thanks for your comment, I had a ferral cat for years in my yard that I loved and communicated with it this way...was wondering if it was a common way for Cats.
One time i saw a cougar sitting on the bar stool right next to me, and gave another one a ride to a bar when i was driving a cab and was in my early twenties. So what i am trying to say is my cougar sightings have been up close and personal. 😆
It knew they were there well before they knew it was there. It didn't see them as a threat or feel the guys were going to mess with it so it just didn't care. But yeah, it knew. I'd rather encounter pretty much any other animal in the wild than a mountain lion, with the exception of maybe a bear. And I say this as someone who has lived around swamps and swam in the gulf all my life.
#5 That was not a canoe, it was a big boat, I think the cougar was just swimming to the otherside of the lake. I also think a few of the encounters were not predatorial, just curious cougars watching the strange animals that stand up right.
I stopped watching at that point. Clearly the narration on this video is BS, so it's likely that the clips don't actually relate to what is being said. Down voted.
Yes I was so confused, like I know youtubers aren’t the smartest but that guy is just crazy to have a sheet and 1 big armglove lookin thing against a Cougar, then I sadly seen what the rest of us seen and thought that’s why smh.
Sick someone de clawed and defanged that poor cat. Who ever did that to that poor cat needs to be held down and their teeth and fingernails pulled out. Freaking sicking!!!
I will never forget my first time with a Cougar.Probably the most beautiful and frightening experience i ever had. It just sauntered away like a real king. Now i always look up when in the woods.Never go in the woods without at least a strong painful walking stick.
Just had my 1st mountain lion encounter today. I agree. It has me rattled. I'm an avid hiker, and I've always been told that the odds of seeing one are extremely unlikely. But, it happened, and it was scary.
The first vid makes me sad. The poor thing was fearing for its life probably in a lot of pain too. Edit: they aren’t monsters, they’re animals, just like us
Yes, that was already a 'pet cat', and a relatively young one as well. You can see why they would not be a very good pet as it is still a very scary animal even with no claws or canines.

"I mean organism made of meat and blood. By definition humans are animals." - I don't think this is a whole definition of animal. I don't like when people call humans animals, cuz it's untrue. Yes we have bones, blood, muscles etc, but we are superior to them. We have spirit, morality, conscience, freewill, far better intelligence and self-awareness. However, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that their lives doesn't matter, of course it does, it just bothers me whenever someone says humans are animals.
You do not want to be shining you light and see those yellow eyes looking at you. That first mountain lion looked like the fang teeth were gone. Dude went in hard to help it. Had to be scary. That cat wasnt playing around. Awesome clips again. Was fun to watch. Great video
No, that cougar was just trying to get away from this video's atrocious dialogue and narration. Total corn and cringe. I need to go listen to some David Attenborough after listening to this guy's crap.
The dogs were trained to hunt mountain lions. And they probably didn’t kill it for multiple reasons like couldn’t have been a female or they could just be doing biological study’s. Video makes it seem like they didn’t want to catch one.
I had an encounter with a mountain lion outside my house one night about 3 or 4 years ago. I was up late at night cleaning the house while my husband worked overnight and I walked outside to dump my mop water. the porch light was on and when I looked up after dumping my mop bucket I saw two glowing eyes across the driveway about 20 to 30 feet away. it moved a little closer and I saw it's head a little clearer. I just said "that's not a bobcat." and walked backward into the house. I went in and loaded a shotgun and went back out to check on my dogs outside. they were just watching where the cat had been silently, lettingout the occational growl. The mountain lion has remained in the area for a while but it's strange because for the most part we don't have mountain lions/cougars in my state. I did also hear one once as a teenager during a barbeque, so I know for a fact they lived in the area but there's only one confirmed documented case of a cougar in the state and the unaltered picture is from the other end of the state. when I heard the scream of the cougar as a teen I just asked my dad who screamed and he just said noone. then he told me to get in the truck. everybody there started rounding up all their goats and putting them in the barn and the entire barbeque wrapped up. we were surrounded by mountains on everyside with the driveway being the only way in or out of the little bitty valley we were in. all the kids of the host were sent inside and everyone else left. on the way home my dad told me that was a mountain lion and he thought they didn't live here. we are originally from California so my dad had heard them and seen them when hunting before I was born but as far as we knew they didn't live in our state of Tennessee since the early to mid 1900s. in 23 years those are the only two cases of mountain lions I've experienced here and frankly it's terrifying.
Well, bears are extremely slower and very clumsy of wild cats (in fact have a very quiet nature, not surprising they are omnivores , otherwise without fish to catch or defenseless cubs to hunt, (but more generally some vulnerable animals to capture) they starve, (in wild they have a very low chance of survival by eating only meat) so, an omnivorous animal as you can imagine, naturally develops a more docile character...) but, you shouldn't be afraid of pumas or bears, you need only to know how be-have appropriately for avoid mistakes (you are not their type of prey) I tink, who has not experience with wild-life, should continued to keep their ass in the city .... (wild animals are not the danger) obviously, they can show curiosity after see you (since they don't often see the human animal) but, they're not these crazy serial-killers as are described in the town .... (obliouvsly this doesen't mean that if you meet them, you will try to pet one ....😀)
That lady "yelling" had me dead hahaha. What is that sound man. makes her sound more like prey. And when she threw the stone I don't think it even came close, nor was it touching any of the leaves, by the sound of it.
Yes..it was kind of ridiculous her reaction... especially throwing stones.. the mountain lion was looking at her probably thinking"Why is she doing that?i can get down and see her from close"😂... She was lucky the Cougar looked bored to get down from the tree .
The only thing worse is this narrator's atrocious cringe-worthy dialogue. Need to go watch some David Attenborough animal videos after this to clean my ears out.
I used to live about a mile from a goood sized river, the wife and I went to walk the dogs in a elementary school we were deep into the school when my wife saw something very large about 100 yards away. Luckily the school had a very tall fence, we got out and were able to get very close to the mountain lion I’ll never forget the stare it gave us.
He managed to pet it!?! Watching him approach the beast WITH A BED SHEET really did me in. Amazing it never lunged at any of them! It always had the upper hand, but it didn't realize it. It was scared for sure!
It was declawed and missing teeth . Someone purposely removed it's canines and declawed it so it could y hurt anyone. I'd be pissed too . They took away that cats only way to protect itself . And declawing any cat is inhumane and cruel . Much less having it's fangs removed . That's evil !
Yes, that was already a 'pet cat', and a relatively young one as well. You can see why they would not be a very good pet as it is still a very scary animal even with no claws or canines.

@@darlanahernandez4052 I understand what you are saying but if you have an exotic pet cat you must declaw it or it will kill someone one day. I think keeping an exotic cat pet is cruel in itself. If you do must get it as a pet you should declaw it.
@@ahmedmukhtar6961 Declawing is a cruel practice. You're not removing the nails of a cat like people think, you are literally removing a good portion of the finger bones to. Its the equivelent of getting half your finger lenghts removed. You're pretty much just crippling the animal. How about instead of crippling the animal, you just make sure you have proper security and don't let people near it. Or even better yet, don't take a large, dangerous predator as a pet?
@@megadracosaurus I understand it’s cruel but I’d rather be cruel than having someone eaten alive because I didn’t wanna be cruel to the animal. Shouldn’t even have them as pets anyways
Number 5 does nothing but remind me of when I call my cat from long distances & he runs directly for me, then curves at the very last second. Like the runner in the movie "Get Out"🤣🤣I guess its a cat thing lol
The second to last video where the four bloodhounds have the lion trapped in the tree is from the show, "Mountain Men". The owner did eventually find his dogs even though one of them was cut open from being swatted by the big cat!
@@thereporter2662 Without a doubt, bloodhounds are relentless when pursuing prey, at least the mountain lion eventually got away after being chased for many miles!
As a teen we were hanging out at Red Rocks when there was no concert. We saw a big shadow, and got out of there. A cougar basically was living backstage 😂😂😂
What is bullshit is these ppl keeping these cats the first freaking cat was de fanged that’s just bullshit!!! Pry de clawed as well. Ppl like that need to be held down and their teeth pulled the FK out.
My grandparent have a cabin in Montana, it’s a little off the beaten path but the road that it’s on is close to other cabins, so it was a pretty tight knit little community. One day, one of the ladies that lived on the road was returning from grocery shopping and began unloading the car, she noticed that a neighbor who lived about 200 yards away was in his from yard waving at her, she didn’t really think anything of it, and went inside her family’s cabin. When she came back out she heard a gunshot, and a Cougar that was in the trees above her, fell out of the trees. She of course freaked out at this, and then noticed that the neighbor who lived down that street had a rifle. He had been waving to her as a warning, he had seen the cougar around her caving and had kept an eye on it. The lady that the Lion was above always had a .41 Magnum Revolver with her, but with groceries, there is no way she would’ve been able to get it drawn in time before the Lion attacked. While they had no way of knowing if the Lion would’ve attacked, the neighbor took no chances, and it could’ve saved the woman’s life. Cougars aren’t an animal that you should dismiss. They’re arguable the most dangerous and aggressive animals in North America, I don’t know the numbers of attacks, but several have happened around my area in recent years. One of which was a Jogger who was pounced by a juvenile, although he got hurt pretty bad, the Jogger managed to fight it off and actually strangled the thing to death. But if would’ve been any bigger, he would’ve been food.
No, cougars aren't the "most dangerous and aggressive animals in North America". Both alligators and bears are far more dangerous and aggressive. Five people have been killed by alligators in the US in the last 2 years (including 3 people in just the last 4 months alone). Thirteen people have been killed by bears in the US in the last 3 years. Only 5 people have been killed by lions in the US since 2000.
these encounters occur because we humans keep moving on more close to their habitats, its not like pumas come to hunt you, theyre opportunistic hunters and prefer to hunt prey that dont put much of a fight, very unwise fucking move from that "smart neighbour" to fucking shot the puma. specially since their numbers decrease rapidly because of fucking poachers and habitat destruction, if the puma would've wanted to attack them it would've already done it before he could've warned the lady with groceries. bunch of imbeciles
Where cougars are attacked, the one's that are the issue are young males that are generally bolder then females and have a bigger tendency to roam around, and haven't always learned that that humans must be avoided. And if we're talking about the same jogger, then I actually know what caused it. Or rather, biologists who study cougars do. A lot of people think that hunting cougars makes them less likely to attack people. But it seems that its the opposite case. Hunting cougars creates a lot of orphans, who are inexsperienced. They're more likely to go after people out of ignorance and desperation. There was a case of a jogger who managed to choke a cougar to death. The cougar in question was likely one such animal, given it was a small, starving juvenile who was even still had some spots that cubs have.
The most dangerous and aggressive animals in North America?? You are f’ing clueless. They are very rarely aggressive, and they definitely are not as dangerous as brown bears or even alligators.
This was actually a clip from the show, Mountain Men. The handler was hired because cougars were getting too close to livestock. The goal was to force the cougar to move back to the high country. These dogs were trained to chase the cougar out of the area. There was no attack. Check out the show. It's fantastic. History Channel.
I wish I recorded the encounter o had with a mountain lion. Scary thing that's ever happened to me in my life my husband and I were camping had a sitter for the kids thank goodness. Remote camping private spot. It was around 1 am my husband went fishing I was sitting by the fire. When out of the side view I see something move I look up and I swear on everything I love she was standing about 20 feet from me. I was shook.. She crouched at me and I took three huge steps into my fire pit and grabbed a lit log and just lifted it fast and hard and the lion took off... It's was very very scary
In a narrow in Central Utah, i was driving up to the base of a mountain to go snowmobiling. Mind you in these narrows its a narrow two lane road with no shoulders. Passed a sweet older lady riding her bike, 30 yd further there was a GIANT cougar in hunt mode following right behind her. Not sure what wouldve happened if i didnt scare that cat away
#2 on #2 it's not a canoe which is obviously more dramatic, it's a freaking motor boat. Actually the dogs chasing the cougar is what they do no "shock" involved they're trained to chase cougars from peoples property a non-lethal way more false drama nothing happened to them, they chased the cat away and then came home.. The hunters were in such fear that immediately he pulled out his camera and started recording, but not his big gun over his shoulder? Again such fear that they shadow it instead of going the other direction? Who writes this stuff?
Me and my 7 other clasmates got followed and attacked (kinda) by a cougar. Lemme explain. So me and my 7 classmates were in a Canada national park named Banff National Park, we had a little cabin in the moutains on the edge of a forest and around 24:30 or smtn we went into the woods alone, at night, without a tour guide. Something we would later regret. We started a lil' fire in a local campsite in the woods and it all went well untill a fiew minutes later we heard something in the bushes. We started packing up and leaving but as we looked back at the trail, we saw A FREAKING COUGAR following us all the way to the cabin. It kept dissapearing in the bushes but then it would come back. We made ut to the cabin and as we were walking into the cabin the cougar started running toward my friend who whas the furthest from us. We started throwing rocks at the cougar untill it went away. Shocking and terrefying experiance and we were only 15 at the time...
I have lived with Cougars all my life. But the scariest time was when i was outside in the pitch dark talking to my cat, and a Cougar was about 5 feet from me and grabbed my cat. I didn't hear a sound except for my cat crying for a second. I ran in the house and grabbed a flashlight, and the Cougar was about 30 feet away. She looked at me with her big firery redish orange eyes. Then, in a minute, she was up the mountain and staired at me one more time.
Oh, so scary and horrifying! I think I will not be able to get to sleep tonight! Actually, I feel the creepy narrator voice was more horrifying than anything I saw on this video.
The hunters who spotted the cougar scared? Are you kidding? Any gun effective against bear is more than enough against a mountain lion. It's good they were hunters of integrity and respected the animal because they easily could have killed it.
The last dude, from #1 video, is Dwight from "The Office". He smiled when he saw the lion, bottom bottle glasses, he used to wear braces on his teeth, he has a good dentist. Not athletical dude, he wears an army camouflaged clothes, but hangs a RED shirt on his back HAHAHA And even after he saw a lion, his gun still hanged on his shoulder. HE IS DWIGHT!!!
Sometimes yes, but sometimes no. Just like humans, some animals are timid, and some are not. You can also scare a black bear away. But if they do confront you, you can not win. Any adult big cat or bear could and would completely dominate the strongest human on the planet.
Cougars are generally quite harmless, especially to adults. It's essential to understand that these majestic creatures primarily want to be left alone and not feel threatened. Most incidents involving humans are rare and are often due to unique circumstances, such as a cougar feeling cornered or protecting its young. Additionally, as with many wildlife species, they are more afraid of us than we are of them. Spreading unnecessary fear about cougars does a disservice to both the animals and the public. Respect and understanding are crucial when it comes to coexisting with wildlife. It's worth noting that the most dangerous animal one might encounter in the wild is often another human.
The narrator needs to look into different styles of boats.... Because, that was no canoe. Also, do you really think hunters with rifles are scared of any of those cats?
Just cause you have a rifle doesn’t mean you’re protected, now I think that if you’re going into cougar territory, a gun is a must have. But you still should be wary, cougar’s are mean AF. And should be treated with extreme caution.
Those four dogs would fhuck that cat up. One-on-one would be a different story since all a dog has for a weapon is his teeth. Puma has really sharp claws AND teeth.
And? A cougar can sprint about 40 mph. Unless you're already holding the gun in firing position, it could cover that ground and be right in front. And it's one thing hitting a moving target going across your field of vision and it'ssomethingyou're not scared of. It's another entirely to hit a moving target coming at you when you're terrified.
@@mommy2libras Cougar's are very largely ambush hunters, most won't tangle with a grown adult particularly men(not because it can distinguish genders but because men generally speaking are larger) if they are aware that you are aware of them.
@@redacted1093 That is true most of the time, especially if you are not alone. In this case there were two men. But even a 90 - 100 pound female cat can physically overpower a strong 200 plus pound unarmed man. But they just might not really know that.
@@tonyprice2256 Of that I don't really argue but especially in natural settings unless absolutely desperate most cougars retreat with the loss of the ambush particularly against larger prey that can hurt it in a physical confrontation.
Oh please, they're not all that fearsome... they usually run away without even looking back when they see you. On rare occasions, a large one might get bold but will walk away if you show that you're not afraid of it. Honestly, this video is just for city folk with no experience dealing with wildlife. With the exemption of a few of them that I shot hunting, they almost always run away and sometimes scramble up a tree. Cougars really want nothing to do with an adult. Your kids, on the other hand, keep them close. If you don't look like a prey animal (like a skinny jogger because running in general triggers a chase response), they'll want absolutely nothing to do with you. If you make eye contact and don't show any sign of intimidation, they won't want anything to do with you. FYI, the video of the dogs are literally hunting for the cougar and I've seen the original video. Thumbs down!
What's scarier than mountain lions is how many people seem to value them more than they value the lives of their fellow human beings. I'll bet the people who posted their sympathy or admiration for mountain lions have never encountered one. I have on several occasions. Mountain lions are very aggressive and territorial. While this video was made to entertain, it doesn't change the fact that these animals are extremely dangerous.
I moved to Oregon from Texas three years ago I was in a simmlier situation where the lady tried yelling if and I was traumatized because I bearsprayed myself had to call in because I work with chemailly and I had to protect myself it chemailly burned my lungs and face I keep my dog one a leash out where I live because of the wildlife I was so trumatized I can’t walk in the dark without having a panic attack

Mountain lions are probably the most over hyped creature when it comes being labeled "dangerous". Crossing paths with a random dog is literally 100s of times more risky. You can literally count on your hands how many adults have been killed by them in documented history lol. 2 were self defense where the animal was never on the attack and aiming to kill, and the rest were simply curiosity. No one was ever in danger.
I think that there should be gated areas that hold dangerous predators and outside of those walls they should be killed on sight. WITHIN those walls it should be illegal to carry lethal self defense weapons. That's THEIR territory. And any person killed they should not pursue the animal. Of course they gave to figure something out with animals important to the ecosystem that migrate on foot. No animal can truly intrude including us. We all share the earth. If we go extinct they continue. If they go extinct we continue. It's not just theirs or just ours. Human has every right to go into the wild and defend themselves from other aggressive animals. If ur dog attack me at the dog park imma shoot it. Not finna be like well I'm in their territory.
Not horrifying . i was riding my mountain bike in sycamore canyon state park many years ago on one to the dirt roads there . suddenly a huge puma jumped out of the manzinita bushes about 30 feet in front of me . he didn't see me as he was facing away . i almost panicked but then remembered to make my self big by staring on my bike . he heard me coming , turned around ,hissed and went back into the bushes . i nearly pissed my pants .
In the last clip why would the hunters get scared ? They have plenty of Guns To take it in a shot. Animals are not as bad as Humans could be. Just a scaring trick used by a TH-camr.
"She attempts to scare off the cougar by screaming..."
Woman : "AERGH!"

"... two men paralyzed with fear for several minutes" - cut to 2 heavily armed hunters with grins on their faces, excitedly recording the mountain lion from a distance.
Why can't you apply the logic that r*p* "survivors" use when you point out to them that they seemed perfectly happy with the predator that they claim attacked them. Yeah, bit of counter-feminism for you.
I was going to say the same thing! Lol! As a hunter this would be soooo cool!
I know right? Just because you add creepy music to a video doesn’t mean it’s creepy
I was about to to say, these guys are hunting BEARS I doubt a mountain lion scares them here.
Fuccking hunters.
The second video was just a cougar being exhausted from swimming and wanted a place to take a break . And the first video the cougar had no claws and it was missing teeth . This is terribly sad and cruel to do to a cat .
Yes, that was already a 'pet cat', and a relatively young one as well. You can see why they would not be a very good pet as it is still a very scary animal even with no claws or canines. They have a very fast and powerful paw swipe. A full grown healthy male or female would physically completely dominate any man. These cats even scare the shit out of most black bears.
They are basically human sized cats. An adult female can weigh between about 90 to 140 pounds, and a male, about 140 to 220 pounds. The biggest one ever recorded so far weighed 276 pounds which is almost as big as an average female African lioness, and bigger than the average male jaguar.
The swimming cat was just crossing the lake. It wasn’t far from shore and no way it was even tired, much less exhausted.
You're right, I just posted that it had no lower fangs but didn't notice the claws. That is extremely cruel, abusive and criminal. The animal is doomed...
Video 1 - These bastards abused the animal and still made videos of it for clicks
The Narrator's voice is more horrifying than the clips 😀
Hes exagerations are more phatetic than anything
😂😂😂
The most horrifying thing in this clip was the woman screeching at the cougar.
She should have started nagging him. That definitely would have driven him away.
Yes, I wasn't "horrified" at all. I want my money back.
Can you call that screeching?
My thoughts after the 3rd video, didn't even finish the last 3!
fr 😂😂😂😂
2:03 I'm so glad you put that red arrow there. I wouldn't have seen the cat without it.
You think this is bad? Did you see him putting that same red arrow at an elephant? Yes he did that 🤦♂️
I noticed an extremely rare species of mosquito flying there and I assumed the arrow was just pointing it out. Had no idea there was a cougar there too
They're known for attacking motorboats, especially the 'big' cats. They were in such danger!
Also thankful. Almost missed the cougar.

Why stupid humans? There just hiking and these stupid mountain lions are attacking for no reason
I’ve had 3 separate encounters with mountain lions while hiking in my lifetime of 23 years, I know videos like this are intentionally dramatic and exaggerated, but if you actually do a tiny amount of research, mountain lion attacks are incredibly rare. They’re generally timid creatures despite their size, it may be scary if you’re face to face with one but the chance of it being aggressive is very low, in all 3 instances where I spooked a mountain lion while out hiking every single one of them booked it from me fast as possible. So there’s really not much reason to be scared of mountain lions, they’re easy to scare away generally. If you have the misfortune of stumbling upon a mother mountain lion with her babies it’s very important to try to back away from those mountain lions soon as possible, while never turning your back on them.
Edit: I went hiking in the dark recently around 3AM, after hiking about 2 miles in I spotted a pair of eyes staring at me intently, after making a bit of noise and trying to scare it off I started throwing rocks in it’s direction to no avail, other than some slight head movement. In this area I was hiking there’s Deer, Elk, Black Bears, and Mountain Lions, with mountain lion sightings not uncommon in the area, with its behavior and the size of the eyes I recognized it was a mountain lion right away, and that of a potentially aggressive mountain lion. As I mentioned, mountain lions are generally timid, especially my encounters with them, but I said generally. This one wasn’t at all dazed by my bright light, the noise I was making, or the rocks I was hurling toward it, after giving up on trying to scare it away I started hiking again turning around very often and making sure it wasn’t stalking me. I eventually lost sight of its eyes and continued on, about a mile after my encounter with the mountain lion I once again noticed a big pair of eyes staring at me, it was closer this time, since it did not run away just from hearing me I once again figured it was a mountain lion, I don’t know if it was the same one and it was stalking me, which is dangerous behavior when a mountain lion does that to a human, or if it was a different mountain lion, nevertheless, I once again started throwing rocks toward it and eventually hitting a tree which made a very loud noise this time it ran away but right as it ran away I could make out it’s figure and it was as I thought, it was a mountain lion. I still believe mountain lions are generally timid but not always, I think it being completely dark might of given the mountain lion a sense of confidence it might not have had if it was during the day, but it all ended well, I continued on my way after scaring it away, and I didn’t see it again. I was hiking alone in the dark trying to beat the heat, which turned out to be 95F that day, if you’re hiking alone in the dark I’d definitely recommend some type of protection, I highly doubt you’d need it but you can never know. 8/2/22
They can still attack. And if they do, it can be fatal. For that, they’re worth being respected
@@nickcoker4293 All wild animals are worth respecting.
I don't go into the wild without a firearm.
Absolutely right! Although the more people encourage them to come into residential areas, the greater the chance that someone will lose a dog or a child. I know of one of each. The child in northern Montana, and the dog near Nederland CO. I’ve seen them several times in Boulder, CO
@@ListlessSilence i don't think you are correct on this.... you were lucky that the mountain lions weren't hungry ..... they are Felines which means territorial and dominative traits of behaviour.
They are hunters and it's in their nature to search for prey.
I was hiking one time with a buddy of mine , we were in a canyon , we started at about 6 at night just to hike back to this little kick it spot I know of, when we got there we didn’t expect it to be so dark, the sky was light but the canyon was like really dark. So we decided to just head back early, as we were walking back out of the canyon, I had my tactical flashlight pointed at the ground because I didn’t want to step on a rattlesnake or something, and out of nowhere we just hear something scurry off the ground and bushes being moved really loud. I point my flashlight up and I shit you not, a mountain lion was probably about 10 yards away from us up the trail , and it was big , we were looking at it in the flashlight only and it was just staring back at us . Me and my homie were just stuck looking between each other and the mountain lion, and it kind of pranced off into the tall grass on the right side , and as it was disappearing into the grass we hear the bushes on the left rustle around and a little baby mountain lion comes out and follows it’s mom across the trail. We stood there for about 30 seconds, and it’s a canyon so there’s only 1 way out, I’m lucky my homie was a big guy , cause I’m kind of small. So we just started walking past the tall grass and I was kind of beating the grass lightly with my trekking pole and shouting “hey don’t try it , don’t try it!” Lol but once we made it past the spot I kept shining my light back behind us every 3 seconds or so to make sure that shit wasn’t following us. It was honestly one of the craziest things I’ve ever experienced when it comes to wildlife. I saw a black bear one time in Wyoming on our way to Yellowstone , but we were in the car, not on a trail, and it was crossing the road between the trees. Anyway, just wanted to share that story, definitely an experience .
Damn that’s crazy. While they’re actually timid, the cub being there is scary
@@ryans.4715 In Connecticut we have so many black bear now that we have at least one every other day walking through our yard. Here we are sister states to NY, 90 minutes to NYC and bear here are so common. Quite a few people say they have seen a mountain lion around our area, I'm pretty sure I saw one , and one was killed by a car just a few towns away, yet the DEEP insists we don't have them. Id love to see one up close. Just not too up close.
Enjoyed hearin about it man , glad u made it lol
@@ggolds5 Hi there. I am a neighbor to your north in Western Massachusetts. I have never seen a mountain lion in the wild, but many people here in the Northeast swear they have. Wildlife officials insist that there are no thriving populations up here. So if you see one, it is most likely a male that has wandered more than 1000 miles to get here. And the poor cat will never find a female to mate with.
That was the case with your cat from Connecticut. So it is a dangerous long journey for them as they travel 1000 - 1500 miles or more crossing many treacherous highways to get here. Our ancestors were scared to death of these human sized cats, and hunted them to extinction in this part of the country. If they were to ever be reintroduced, it would take humans to make it happen.

One time I hiked from my house to the gas station. It's about half a mile of asphalt and level terrain. It was early morning and the only noises were cars in the distant and some faint sounds of dogs barking. After I got to the store and starting heading back, I noticed something had started to follow me. I picked up my pace a bit and started getting nervous. Suddenly a strange shape jumped from behind the high grass on the side of the road. I was terrified that it could be a mountain lion or cougar...but it was just my neighbors cat. My life is pretty average.
😅
You are a great comedian. Do you have any videos?
🤣🤣🤣
While hiking alone in the Eastern Sierras, I was stalked by a cougar. It followed behind me at close range and I wasn't aware of it until I turned around. Thankfully It chose to hide and not attack. Like sharks, they are around us much more than we are aware.
thank you for this nightmare fuel
Thanks for sharing .

When I was 7 my family visited our farm property in eastern Washington as weekend warriors. Driving up a cougar was walking on the side of the road. My dad made no big deal about it. We set up a tent while it was walking across the road. Saw it a few times that summer. It kept its distance, had plenty of deer and elk. Never had any issues. Respect the animal and it’s ability to kill. Do not fear or vilify the animal.
Yeah cougars don’t tend to attack humans unless they’re starving and there’s no other prey around. I ran into one once and it paused to stare at me. My reflex as a cat owner was to slow blink at it and then look off to the side, because that’s how you communicate to cats that you are friendly/mean no harm (it’s pretty universal among all felines even the big ones). It accepted that and just calmly walked off.
Oh yeah there’s lots of Cougars in eastern Washington. *wink*
@@violetblythe6912 Thanks for your comment, I had a ferral cat for years in my yard that I loved and communicated with it this way...was wondering if it was a common way for Cats.
You can always make out a cougar sighting through thick woods at 250 meters but you can never make out a Bigfoot sighting even at 25 feet 😄😄😄
One time i saw a cougar sitting on the bar stool right next to me, and gave another one a ride to a bar when i was driving a cab and was in my early twenties. So what i am trying to say is my cougar sightings have been up close and personal. 😆
How can an animal that has no idea you're there leave you crippled in fear? That last one shouldn't have even been on the list
The animal knows you are there. Just not interested.
It knew they were there well before they knew it was there. It didn't see them as a threat or feel the guys were going to mess with it so it just didn't care. But yeah, it knew. I'd rather encounter pretty much any other animal in the wild than a mountain lion, with the exception of maybe a bear. And I say this as someone who has lived around swamps and swam in the gulf all my life.

Cougars have the characteristic to attack when you don't see it.. remember it's a Cat.... most clever animals.
Then he immediately states how the guys shadowed/followed it. I like the videos but this dude is always full of it.
#5 That was not a canoe, it was a big boat, I think the cougar was just swimming to the otherside of the lake.
I also think a few of the encounters were not predatorial, just curious cougars watching the strange animals that stand up right.
For sure.
A lot of these were easy kills for the cat. But in others they have guns/dogs.
Other predators stay away from people for a reason...
I was just thinking that haha it's an Inlet not a lake, lots of cats on Vancouver Island here.
The cat was obviously just trying to cross. I think he would have better missions to pursue xD
Tbh the cougar might have been tired and looking for a place to rest until he saw the humans.
I stopped watching at that point. Clearly the narration on this video is BS, so it's likely that the clips don't actually relate to what is being said. Down voted.
1:22 wtf no fangs or claws? No wonder the guy was all confident.. that's messed up
Yes I was so confused, like I know youtubers aren’t the smartest but that guy is just crazy to have a sheet and 1 big armglove lookin thing against a Cougar, then I sadly seen what the rest of us seen and thought that’s why smh.
Sick someone de clawed and defanged that poor cat. Who ever did that to that poor cat needs to be held down and their teeth and fingernails pulled out. Freaking sicking!!!
That poor thing, I was so confused when I saw no fangs. Whoever did that to her deserves the same treatment
Why is there blood in his/her mouth? :(
People do that so they can make their dogs fight it and make their dog look strong, very barbaric
I will never forget my first time with a Cougar.Probably the most beautiful and frightening experience i ever had. It just sauntered away like a real king. Now i always look up when in the woods.Never go in the woods without at least a strong painful walking stick.
Just had my 1st mountain lion encounter today. I agree. It has me rattled. I'm an avid hiker, and I've always been told that the odds of seeing one are extremely unlikely. But, it happened, and it was scary.
So good! I love mountain lions ♥️
Same. I love all cats, big and small.
The first vid makes me sad. The poor thing was fearing for its life probably in a lot of pain too.

Yes we have bones, blood, muscles etc, but we are superior to them. We have spirit, morality, conscience, freewill, far better intelligence and self-awareness.

The cat is the most athletic animal on the planet, and the cougar is the most athletic cat.
I had an encounter with a mountain lion outside my house one night about 3 or 4 years ago. I was up late at night cleaning the house while my husband worked overnight and I walked outside to dump my mop water. the porch light was on and when I looked up after dumping my mop bucket I saw two glowing eyes across the driveway about 20 to 30 feet away. it moved a little closer and I saw it's head a little clearer. I just said "that's not a bobcat." and walked backward into the house. I went in and loaded a shotgun and went back out to check on my dogs outside. they were just watching where the cat had been silently, lettingout the occational growl. The mountain lion has remained in the area for a while but it's strange because for the most part we don't have mountain lions/cougars in my state.
I did also hear one once as a teenager during a barbeque, so I know for a fact they lived in the area but there's only one confirmed documented case of a cougar in the state and the unaltered picture is from the other end of the state. when I heard the scream of the cougar as a teen I just asked my dad who screamed and he just said noone. then he told me to get in the truck. everybody there started rounding up all their goats and putting them in the barn and the entire barbeque wrapped up. we were surrounded by mountains on everyside with the driveway being the only way in or out of the little bitty valley we were in. all the kids of the host were sent inside and everyone else left. on the way home my dad told me that was a mountain lion and he thought they didn't live here. we are originally from California so my dad had heard them and seen them when hunting before I was born but as far as we knew they didn't live in our state of Tennessee since the early to mid 1900s. in 23 years those are the only two cases of mountain lions I've experienced here and frankly it's terrifying.

Well, bears are extremely slower and very clumsy of wild cats (in fact have a very quiet nature, not surprising they are omnivores , otherwise without fish to catch or defenseless cubs to hunt, (but more generally some vulnerable animals to capture) they starve, (in wild they have a very low chance of survival by eating only meat) so, an omnivorous animal as you can imagine, naturally develops a more docile character...) but, you shouldn't be afraid of pumas or bears, you need only to know how be-have appropriately for avoid mistakes (you are not their type of prey) I tink, who has not experience with wild-life, should continued to keep their ass in the city .... (wild animals are not the danger) obviously, they can show curiosity after see you (since they don't often see the human animal) but, they're not these crazy serial-killers as are described in the town .... (obliouvsly this doesen't mean that if you meet them, you will try to pet one ....😀)
It looks like the tree cougar was scared off by the ground cougar.
Who wouldn’t?

That lady "yelling" had me dead hahaha. What is that sound man. makes her sound more like prey. And when she threw the stone I don't think it even came close, nor was it touching any of the leaves, by the sound of it.
Yes..it was kind of ridiculous her reaction... especially throwing stones.. the mountain lion was looking at her probably thinking"Why is she doing that?i can get down and see her from close"😂...
She was lucky the Cougar looked bored to get down from the tree .
The only thing worse is this narrator's atrocious cringe-worthy dialogue. Need to go watch some David Attenborough animal videos after this to clean my ears out.
That woman needs to hang out with some cranky and irate black women. That kind of psycho jibber-jabber will surely scare off the cougar.

My grandparent have a cabin in Montana, it’s a little off the beaten path but the road that it’s on is close to other cabins, so it was a pretty tight knit little community. One day, one of the ladies that lived on the road was returning from grocery shopping and began unloading the car, she noticed that a neighbor who lived about 200 yards away was in his from yard waving at her, she didn’t really think anything of it, and went inside her family’s cabin. When she came back out she heard a gunshot, and a Cougar that was in the trees above her, fell out of the trees. She of course freaked out at this, and then noticed that the neighbor who lived down that street had a rifle. He had been waving to her as a warning, he had seen the cougar around her caving and had kept an eye on it. The lady that the Lion was above always had a .41 Magnum Revolver with her, but with groceries, there is no way she would’ve been able to get it drawn in time before the Lion attacked.
While they had no way of knowing if the Lion would’ve attacked, the neighbor took no chances, and it could’ve saved the woman’s life. Cougars aren’t an animal that you should dismiss. They’re arguable the most dangerous and aggressive animals in North America, I don’t know the numbers of attacks, but several have happened around my area in recent years. One of which was a Jogger who was pounced by a juvenile, although he got hurt pretty bad, the Jogger managed to fight it off and actually strangled the thing to death. But if would’ve been any bigger, he would’ve been food.
No, cougars aren't the "most dangerous and aggressive animals in North America". Both alligators and bears are far more dangerous and aggressive. Five people have been killed by alligators in the US in the last 2 years (including 3 people in just the last 4 months alone). Thirteen people have been killed by bears in the US in the last 3 years. Only 5 people have been killed by lions in the US since 2000.
@@استاذدانيال Truth
these encounters occur because we humans keep moving on more close to their habitats, its not like pumas come to hunt you, theyre opportunistic hunters and prefer to hunt prey that dont put much of a fight, very unwise fucking move from that "smart neighbour" to fucking shot the puma. specially since their numbers decrease rapidly because of fucking poachers and habitat destruction, if the puma would've wanted to attack them it would've already done it before he could've warned the lady with groceries. bunch of imbeciles
Where cougars are attacked, the one's that are the issue are young males that are generally bolder then females and have a bigger tendency to roam around, and haven't always learned that that humans must be avoided. And if we're talking about the same jogger, then I actually know what caused it. Or rather, biologists who study cougars do. A lot of people think that hunting cougars makes them less likely to attack people. But it seems that its the opposite case. Hunting cougars creates a lot of orphans, who are inexsperienced. They're more likely to go after people out of ignorance and desperation.
There was a case of a jogger who managed to choke a cougar to death. The cougar in question was likely one such animal, given it was a small, starving juvenile who was even still had some spots that cubs have.
The most dangerous and aggressive animals in North America?? You are f’ing clueless. They are very rarely aggressive, and they definitely are not as dangerous as brown bears or even alligators.
Bigfoot encounters next please, keep up the good work!
The first guy did everything he could possibly do to make the cat feel threatened, no surprise at all for his reaction.
Click bait!!!!!
Yup! Mountain Lion in lake, in a motor boat not a canoe
“Intruder” lol you’re the intruder in their woods
How dangerous was the lion being attacked by a pack of harmless dogs! Not! The poor lion.
This was actually a clip from the show, Mountain Men. The handler was hired because cougars were getting too close to livestock. The goal was to force the cougar to move back to the high country. These dogs were trained to chase the cougar out of the area. There was no attack. Check out the show. It's fantastic. History Channel.
@@psu7276 Yes. That is a lot better than just shooting the cat.
Great vid
I wish I recorded the encounter o had with a mountain lion. Scary thing that's ever happened to me in my life my husband and I were camping had a sitter for the kids thank goodness. Remote camping private spot. It was around 1 am my husband went fishing I was sitting by the fire. When out of the side view I see something move I look up and I swear on everything I love she was standing about 20 feet from me. I was shook.. She crouched at me and I took three huge steps into my fire pit and grabbed a lit log and just lifted it fast and hard and the lion took off... It's was very very scary
Wow. Good thing you noticed her. You also did some very good quick thinking there as well.
Sure, that happened 👍🏼
Once, I locked eyes with a huge cougar - and still paying the child support.
In a narrow in Central Utah, i was driving up to the base of a mountain to go snowmobiling. Mind you in these narrows its a narrow two lane road with no shoulders. Passed a sweet older lady riding her bike, 30 yd further there was a GIANT cougar in hunt mode following right behind her. Not sure what wouldve happened if i didnt scare that cat away
Wow. It was a good thing you were coming along when you did. Great timing.
That's exactly what the cougar thought, a juicy sweet treat on a bike!
Sure 👍🏼
Paralyzed with fear then continues to say how the men are shadowing/following the Mountain Lion🤣🤣🤣
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I’m never going to go to the woods. Ever. Again
🥲😓😥🤭
Lol
#2 on #2 it's not a canoe which is obviously more dramatic, it's a freaking motor boat. Actually the dogs chasing the cougar is what they do no "shock" involved they're trained to chase cougars from peoples property a non-lethal way more false drama nothing happened to them, they chased the cat away and then came home.. The hunters were in such fear that immediately he pulled out his camera and started recording, but not his big gun over his shoulder? Again such fear that they shadow it instead of going the other direction? Who writes this stuff?
Me and my 7 other clasmates got followed and attacked (kinda) by a cougar. Lemme explain. So me and my 7 classmates were in a Canada national park named Banff National Park, we had a little cabin in the moutains on the edge of a forest and around 24:30 or smtn we went into the woods alone, at night, without a tour guide. Something we would later regret. We started a lil' fire in a local campsite in the woods and it all went well untill a fiew minutes later we heard something in the bushes. We started packing up and leaving but as we looked back at the trail, we saw A FREAKING COUGAR following us all the way to the cabin. It kept dissapearing in the bushes but then it would come back. We made ut to the cabin and as we were walking into the cabin the cougar started running toward my friend who whas the furthest from us. We started throwing rocks at the cougar untill it went away. Shocking and terrefying experiance and we were only 15 at the time...
Wow. You kids were lucky.
I have lived with Cougars all my life. But the scariest time was when i was outside in the pitch dark talking to my cat, and a Cougar was about 5 feet from me and grabbed my cat. I didn't hear a sound except for my cat crying for a second. I ran in the house and grabbed a flashlight, and the Cougar was about 30 feet away. She looked at me with her big firery redish orange eyes. Then, in a minute, she was up the mountain and staired at me one more time.
It’s the voice for me😂
That word "Couger" kept me concerned throughout the video 😆
Bro this is giving my the chills~~
Oh, so scary and horrifying! I think I will not be able to get to sleep tonight!
Actually, I feel the creepy narrator voice was more horrifying than anything I saw on this video.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
The first cougar was a PET! De-fanged and de-clawed! CRUEL!
Yeah that's fucked up
That is not a suitable pet. He should have gotten a house cat.
Amazink👍
The hunters who spotted the cougar scared? Are you kidding? Any gun effective against bear is more than enough against a mountain lion. It's good they were hunters of integrity and respected the animal because they easily could have killed it.
The last dude, from #1 video, is Dwight from "The Office". He smiled when he saw the lion, bottom bottle glasses, he used to wear braces on his teeth, he has a good dentist. Not athletical dude, he wears an army camouflaged clothes, but hangs a RED shirt on his back HAHAHA And even after he saw a lion, his gun still hanged on his shoulder. HE IS DWIGHT!!!
That's what I thought.
Refuge in her TENT 😂
The mountain lion is just as scared of humans as humans are scared of mountain lion. If you start running towards him he will run like a pussycat
Sometimes yes, but sometimes no. Just like humans, some animals are timid, and some are not. You can also scare a black bear away. But if they do confront you, you can not win. Any adult big cat or bear could and would completely dominate the strongest human on the planet.
Cougars are generally quite harmless, especially to adults. It's essential to understand that these majestic creatures primarily want to be left alone and not feel threatened. Most incidents involving humans are rare and are often due to unique circumstances, such as a cougar feeling cornered or protecting its young. Additionally, as with many wildlife species, they are more afraid of us than we are of them. Spreading unnecessary fear about cougars does a disservice to both the animals and the public. Respect and understanding are crucial when it comes to coexisting with wildlife. It's worth noting that the most dangerous animal one might encounter in the wild is often another human.
Who the hell would go hunting at night in mountain lion territory?
It’s illegal to hunt lions after dark.
Always love all your video❤️🥰🔥🔥 even my english is bad, i still can understand you👍 another great video.
The narrator needs to look into different styles of boats.... Because, that was no canoe. Also, do you really think hunters with rifles are scared of any of those cats?
Just cause you have a rifle doesn’t mean you’re protected, now I think that if you’re going into cougar territory, a gun is a must have. But you still should be wary, cougar’s are mean AF. And should be treated with extreme caution.
Those four dogs would fhuck that cat up. One-on-one would be a different story since all a dog has for a weapon is his teeth. Puma has really sharp claws AND teeth.
"Leaving the hunters to sigh in relief". A decent sized bloke to take an average sized mountain lion. The hunters had guns anyway.
And that makes it even??? C Mon man
And? A cougar can sprint about 40 mph. Unless you're already holding the gun in firing position, it could cover that ground and be right in front. And it's one thing hitting a moving target going across your field of vision and it'ssomethingyou're not scared of. It's another entirely to hit a moving target coming at you when you're terrified.
@@mommy2libras Cougar's are very largely ambush hunters, most won't tangle with a grown adult particularly men(not because it can distinguish genders but because men generally speaking are larger) if they are aware that you are aware of them.
@@redacted1093 That is true most of the time, especially if you are not alone. In this case there were two men. But even a 90 - 100 pound female cat can physically overpower a strong 200 plus pound unarmed man. But they just might not really know that.
@@tonyprice2256 Of that I don't really argue but especially in natural settings unless absolutely desperate most cougars retreat with the loss of the ambush particularly against larger prey that can hurt it in a physical confrontation.
Oh please, they're not all that fearsome... they usually run away without even looking back when they see you. On rare occasions, a large one might get bold but will walk away if you show that you're not afraid of it. Honestly, this video is just for city folk with no experience dealing with wildlife. With the exemption of a few of them that I shot hunting, they almost always run away and sometimes scramble up a tree. Cougars really want nothing to do with an adult. Your kids, on the other hand, keep them close. If you don't look like a prey animal (like a skinny jogger because running in general triggers a chase response), they'll want absolutely nothing to do with you. If you make eye contact and don't show any sign of intimidation, they won't want anything to do with you. FYI, the video of the dogs are literally hunting for the cougar and I've seen the original video. Thumbs down!
What's scarier than mountain lions is how many people seem to value them more than they value the lives of their fellow human beings. I'll bet the people who posted their sympathy or admiration for mountain lions have never encountered one. I have on several occasions. Mountain lions are very aggressive and territorial. While this video was made to entertain, it doesn't change the fact that these animals are extremely dangerous.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I came across one while hiking in oregon cascades. I had my .45 on it aimed loaded and ready. It didnt like rugers so it walked off
I moved to Oregon from Texas three years ago I was in a simmlier situation where the lady tried yelling if and I was traumatized because I bearsprayed myself had to call in because I work with chemailly and I had to protect myself it chemailly burned my lungs and face I keep my dog one a leash out where I live because of the wildlife I was so trumatized I can’t walk in the dark without having a panic attack
The last one… the two hunters with high powered rifles were “paralyzed with fear”… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The last dude, from #1 video, is Dwight from "The Office". He smiled when he saw the lion, bottom bottle glasses, he used to wear braces on his teeth, he has a good dentist.

I was always gonna jump in water if a cougar chased me-
Now I know it doesn't work that way; thanks-
lol Don't climb a tree either. Any time i go into cougar country, i just carry a 20 pound sack of catnip and a laser pointer. 😆
The cougar was in now way oblivious to the hunter's presence. The cougar is in his domain and has likely been tracking the hunters for a long time.
I hate the first video. You see the blood on the mountain lions face? Yeah, they pulled it's teeth
Damn you gotta be the funniest kid in school huh?
Mountain lions are probably the most over hyped creature when it comes being labeled "dangerous". Crossing paths with a random dog is literally 100s of times more risky. You can literally count on your hands how many adults have been killed by them in documented history lol. 2 were self defense where the animal was never on the attack and aiming to kill, and the rest were simply curiosity. No one was ever in danger.
I love how people go into the woods and act like the animals are the intruders. 🙄
You do realize humans are animals that also evolved in the forest too right? None of us are intruders
Humans are not intruders! God gave us charge over the care of animals.
@@117Hams you do realize that the sarcasm went straight over your head right?
I think that there should be gated areas that hold dangerous predators and outside of those walls they should be killed on sight.
WITHIN those walls it should be illegal to carry lethal self defense weapons. That's THEIR territory. And any person killed they should not pursue the animal.
Of course they gave to figure something out with animals important to the ecosystem that migrate on foot.
No animal can truly intrude including us. We all share the earth. If we go extinct they continue. If they go extinct we continue. It's not just theirs or just ours.
Human has every right to go into the wild and defend themselves from other aggressive animals.
If ur dog attack me at the dog park imma shoot it. Not finna be like well I'm in their territory.
@@westerngroovetv
You'll be the first dangerous preditor put behind those walls 🙄. What an asinine idea.
Not horrifying . i was riding my mountain bike in sycamore canyon state park many years ago on one to the dirt roads there . suddenly a huge puma jumped out of the manzinita bushes about 30 feet in front of me . he didn't see me as he was facing away . i almost panicked but then remembered to make my self big by staring on my bike . he heard me coming , turned around ,hissed and went back into the bushes . i nearly pissed my pants .
Your camping in the woods, and the cougar is the intruder...? Bruh, humans are evil
No she wasn't camping in the woods she was camping in a tent 😂
@@Nope991 😑😕😌😒🙁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥✊
It is obvious that a wild animal/s would come up if they go trekking or camping in the woods.
@@vijyur5115 its obvious your triggered easily. And please check your grammer. Its obvious, your not well suited to comment...😂😂😂😂😒 enjoy your day
You make the cats out to be villains when the real culprit is overpopulation.
“He pulled out his camera” - most sensible people would have pulled out their gun.
No shit.
Seeing the woman’s pulse/heart racing in her neck was crazy
Claws video's are so good 👍
Cougars pretty much stopped messing with me once I turned 30.
In the last clip why would the hunters get scared ? They have plenty of Guns To take it in a shot. Animals are not as bad as Humans could be. Just a scaring trick used by a TH-camr.
Well yea obviously...
Hunting any animal is despicable. It's hardly ever 'sport'
Poor sweet creatures
