Cougars can be rough, but if a gentleman plays nice she’ll usually not cause any damage.
A cougar attacking a 31-year-old man? Who is she?
You stand up to the big cat, the cat might win. You run from the cat, and the cat will win.
Yeah, probably NOT gonna outrun the cougar. Don’t even think about climbing the tree to get away either. Guessing thy didn’t have firearms with them?
Very very sad
Caps look bad
Especially when you try running with cycling shoes on!
A redheaded stripper?
We bastardized the word cougar and the comments testify. LoL

Cougar country.
After release, the cat commented, "I'll be back!"
"She started talking about the Berlin Wall and I said that was before I was even born then I woke up in the hospital."
One does not run from a predator.
It says to the predator “You are the prey and are afraid, weak.”
If you must, walk slowly away, with your eyes on the animals but do not stare down the critter. This may make the animal interpret this as a challenge.
Return to a place of safety and never leave New York again.
Wild America is no place for weak, stupid urban dwellers.
Authorities found the mountain lion / cougar standing over the body of the dead biker.
They were f funny ten years ago.
Smart move. These lions can kill adult, male elk.
