Always travel with a buddy! With luck, you might outrun your buddies. You will never outrun a cougar.
Plenty of stones to throw.
Bears have cubs, cats have kittens.....sheesh.
The kittens were likely following mom, so she extended the escort duty.
From October, a thread a few months ago. But worth a ping, the bluffs on the video are great, and worth discussing again. Good mom, she defended her cubs.
Was back in my oil field days.
Still have the belt buckle she gave me.
[[Although she was acting very aggressive, the cougar had no intent on hurting me.]]
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-
Wow! Years ago I lived on Pt Reyes and once I was driving over to the Oyster Farm and I looked over and saw a mountain lion (cougar, puma, whatever) slinking through the tall dry grass of about the same color on the hillside by the highway. I stopped because I thought maybe it was the grass moving, but it was definitely a big cat sliding through the grass.
Of course, when I reported it, everybody told me I was crazy, except for one old man at the store who told me there were some cougars in the area and he had seen them.
About 15 years later, after I had left the area, the NPS announced that there were indeed mountain lions on Pt. Reyes.
And now California is celebrating the “return” of grey wolves ... are these people crazy or what?
The poster was calm enough to keep filming the cat.
Good thing his finger didn’t accidentally push the volume and settings button, only to have some “You’ve Just WON the Daily Sweepstakes!!! call 1800. XXXXXX to claim your prize!”
with Kazoos blasting from his phone.
We warned him and warned him and warned him not to tie strips of liver and and dangle chicken legs from his belt when hiking in the woods, but would he listen? Oh heck no.
Whenever I used to go for a run in the woods, I would always carry protection.
Yes, I had a Killer Whale in my backpack.
The Mountain Lions ran like scared kitties when I let Shamu out of the backpack.
He would swim by flipping water on them.
Cats hate water.
Then, he would eat a forest ranger.
They won’t allow me in the national parks now.
Filthy bigots.
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.
Shoot, shovel, shut up
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.
More clicks for ThemTube!
Keep it up!
Andrea and the Rats need the money!
That’s a beautiful trail...and a very determined cougar!
That cat wanted him for lunch..If the guy tripped and we wouldn’t have seen the end,,,It always amazes me when people talk to animals...What did he think would happen..The cat says,sorry sir,I just wanted to see of you had a cigarette on you....
