“Stop the car, dear, so the kids can go out and pet the kitty. There will still be plenty of time to drive to the desert so they can play with the rattlesnakes.”
I believe that at least two humans have been killed by mountain lions in the past year.
You jest, but my father ran into this very thing in Yellowstone. Idiots in the car behind him sent their kids out to pose for pictures next to the cute little baby buffalos. Dad grabbed the kids and got them to safety just in the nick of time. Dad - not a man for hyperbole - said "It was a close one." That means, "I had buffalo slobber on the back of my shirt".
Funny thing was that the idiots raised hell with Dad for what he did. Ranger had to get involved... he gave the idiots what for, sent them on their way, and mentioned to Dad that he wouldn't believe the number of times that he needed to deal with this particular issue...
