An Alberta man who dreamed of seeing a cougar in the wild got a little more than he bargained for when he was almost attacked by two wild cougars.

The video uploader, Donny Stone, said he was out for a run when two he noticed that he was being stalked by two cougars. After spotting the animals, he pulled out his camera and bear spray.

Seconds after he pulled out his bear spray one of the cougars ran at him, but instead of a meal the cougar got a face full of capsaicin. He then sprayed the other animal before it lunged, which scared them off.

If you’d like to be on or off this Outdoors/Rural/wildlife/hunting/hiking/backpacking/National Parks/animals list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.

On seeing two cougars a few yards off the trail to your front, I wonder if jogging by them is the smartest tactic. Kind of begging an attack. Glad the spray worked, I carry it too, generally with backup. But this is Canada. Think I heard him say something about a bear banger, something not seen often in the US>

You could barely see it. Disappointed.

What is he going to do with them now that he’s captured them? Does he have a proper facility to keep them?

I know. One may have been charging him, the second was questionable.

A minute twenty-two seconds of my life wasted.
The most exciting thing was a spray of some aerosol substance.

What was he doing on that poor camera that caused the cougars to attack him? And why was he so intent on it that he failed to notice the attacking cougars?

Ha! My kitty kat, Brutus, looks at me at times as if she’s thinking, “If only I were just a few pounds heavier than I currently am, Twinkie would be my dinner!” - Brutus calls both lunch & supper “dinner”. She calls her Pappy, “Pappy”. Me, she calls “Twinkie” because I’m just a servant according to her and rate but little.

A good friend of mine had a once in a lifetime experience with a Florida panther earlier this year while hiking in the Everglades. Click here to read the article he wrote about it. His wife is noted wildlife artist Anne London, whose website is here. If you scroll way down through her journal (which is pretty fascinating) you’ll get to a large version of the panther picture she painted for her husband.
