Cougar Encounter in Utah | Mountain Lion Stalks Me For 6 Minutes!

I found what I thought were bobcats on the trail during a run. Turns out they were cougar cubs and their mother was not happy to see me. She escorted me for over six minutes to get me away from her cubs. Although she was acting very aggressive, the cougar had no intent on hurting me. The mother cougar was most likely caught off guard and did what she had to do to protect her cubs. Mama, cubs, and I are safe.

Keep right on believing that. Timothy Tredwell said the same nonsense, even got his girlfriend to believe it, and they ended up as meals for hungry Grizzlies-

Boy, I do agree with that! The (original) writer is being very, very personable about a predator known since colonial times for attacking humans.

I wonder if it bothers a female actress if she always plays a whore.
Kind of like William Atherton and Alan Rickman always play a-holes.

That’s exactly what they want, or at any rate, have been told they want.

Several people have been killed by mountain lions in CA in the last few years...not people in the wilderness, but people jogging in city parks. In CA, these parks can go up into the hills, but it’s still civilized territory. Or was.

This is getting more and more dystopian by the moment.

Their ad pricing is based on traffic.

By contributing to their traffic, you increase the money they can charge.

Best if everyone just uploads anything that is uploadable to friendly sites like Rumble or Ugetube or bitchute. And a few others that I cant think of off the top of my head...but they’re out there.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife recently put up a still photo of a mountain lion in mid-air, WAY up in the air and perfectly level.

Look at the image carefully. The mountain lion's back legs are nearly sideways. Cats that are just jumping don't have that position. That looks more like a picture of a cat recovering from a fall.

But cats do have tremendous strength and jumping ability. Like this bobcat jumping across water.

That mountain lion was tiny, and it was very well acquainted with people. It was also very hungry. When he started to throw a rock at it and wobbled the camera, it ran away.

Look at the image carefully.

Watching the video at .25 speed clearly the legs are extended after take off.

Guessing that the cougar launched from a tree limb, not the ground?

Someone points out that near the end of the vid that he does, finally, throw a rock.

Last night there was a thread about flying mountain lions.

They can swim, run and fly.

Maybe we can send them to SEAL school.

I’d like to see that.

Our SEALS with those amazing dogs and then mountain lions.

Oh yeah.

Is there a video of the mountain lion shown in the article “Trail camera captures giant predator soaring through the air in Colorado”?

The girlfriend was terrified and he thought since the bears were not going to hurt him,they wouldn’t hurt her..

He was there later in the season than he used to, at a time when the bears were hungry and aggressive.

I have a motto: Most people are only alive because nobody has had any desire to kill them -- yet.
