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.

A cougar to sink your teeth into or whatever. That’s what I’m talking about.

That’s not stalking. That’s protection mode for its cubs.

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. They said these animals can “broad jump” about 45 feet and get this, their vertical leap is 19 feet! Forget about climbing a tree.

The guy actually did everything pretty much right and it worked out for him.

There was a cougar attack in Washington state, I think two years ago now. The cougar attacked two bicyclists on a bike path. One guy got knocked down and was getting mauled, the other guy was able to out run his buddy. The guy that ran was the guy that got killed & eaten.

The cougar had “...no intent on hurting me.”

So she read a cougar’s mind and understand it’s intentions. An has instincts and experience not intentions and feelings. This woman 👩 s an idiot.

And now California is celebrating the “return” of grey wolves ... are these people crazy or what?
Crazy maybe, but I'm sure what these people want is to lock us humans down in our apartments and hand the wilderness back to the wild animals...

They do that with people too. They are now everywhere in positions of power. They are logically retarded. The 19th amendment was a complete disaster for the once great USA.

To be fair, the author probably saw ‘The Lion King’ twice and therefore was an expert on the subject.

“Cats hate water.”

That is not universally true. Mountain lions are often seen swimming:

Keep right on believing that.

Yeah, that cat was looking for a chance to attack. Each time he turned his head to look back, she charged. Had he tripped and fell, this story would have had a much different ending, with full bellies for mamma and kittens.

Ok I broke the rules and watched the whole thing. That cat would have had him for lunch if turned tail and run. He did good. But he still stupid if he thinks he understand the “intentions” of an animal.

People need to remember 1: Wrath of GOD=always deadly, 2: Mother Protecting her young=deadly almost always, 3: Forgetting your anniversary with mamma=wish your were dead. Then anything Disney and the left believe is what my horse leaves me for my garden.

I’ve had some cougars stalk me.

But I’m in my 50’s and the cougars are over 80 and I’m just not interested.
