In this compilation video, we go over multiple clips that range from mountain lion attacks, cougar encounters and even puma spottings. What makes these ''caught on camera'' moments so scary is the fact that they were filmed in remote areas like a forests, arizona or california desert or even national parks.
We feature a clip where a man tries to tame a mountain lion, men in a canoe encounter a cougar, a man out hunting at night encounters a large mountain lion, a woman on a hike fights off a stalking cougar, a few hunting dogs run after a mountain lion and a pair of hunters have a mountain lion spotting.
These wild cats can be very scary. Some of these creepy videos even feature moments where people were chased down by these animals, which are known to attack or stalk people who are out camping, hunting or mountain biking in the wild.
These mountain lion vs man moments are sure to give you the chills and the fact that some people were lucky enough to capture these near death experiences on gopros or on tape makes it even crazier. Some of these have even gone wrong.

[@number4cat1]

The narrator is either embellishing these encounters for the sake of views, or is abysmally ignorant of the behavior of mountain lions. Since the narrative is so exaggerated, I'll go with the former.

[@Trash2000s]

Settle down.

My thoughts exactually 👌

[@rexphillips7838]

lion as had it' s teeth emmoved. and probably claws

[@danielwhite9205]

I agree. You can easily tell that Lion wanted no trouble. He was just warning that idiot to leave him alone. He wasn't in predator mode. A quick an easy tranquilizer dart is what he should have used. Then he could have easily transported him out of harms way. I would have fired the idiot moron with the predator stick. Moron.

[@winendesertrose]

They took her teeth out. Or the previous owner. No followup.

22 I was thinking the same thing and looking to see if I wasn’t the only one thinking that they’re just harassing the lion

[@nerdcamel]

Number 21 that mountain lion looked like he had a huge abcess on his lower face and jaw. If you rewatch it you can see the huge lump. Poor thing.

[@katdogz]

Was looking for this comment! It was huge. Poor guy is probably so sore from infection 😭

[@nerdcamel]

@@katdogz I felt so bad for him. That has to hurt and make it hard for him to hunt and eat without pain.

[@Carnage1975]

Best thing to do is show no fear and actually become the aggressor first and look angry while charging towards the beast, this confuses the lion and instinctively will retreat while still not knowing for sure if you're prey or predator.

[@gerrywhelan5761]

"Charging towards the beast" are you totally out of your mind🙄!

[@FrenchFryKayak]

Lmao establish dominance and slap the bear in the nuts.

[@gerrywhelan5761]

@@luke9072 If it had babies near by that would be a disastrous move, or if it was protecting a kill near by, if it was just protective of its territory, no the advice is to slowly retreat still facing the cat, with no direct eye contact, remember humans really are not on its menu, but the above have led to rare attacks.

The narration is really too much.

[@shirllinda8793]

Animal abuse, those men need to go to jail. Wonder what Wildlife conservation would say to them tampering Wildlife.

[@ninjafrog6966]

ok karen

[@joshuabradshaw9120]

Sorry but the only way I'd even consider rescuing a mountain lion or any other wild animal is to tranquilize it first. They don't understand that you're trying to rescue them, they just act out of instinctive fear and if trapped, attack anything or anyone that gets too close. I'm thankful for the brave people who rescue them as part of their job. I would be too terrified to do the job myself.

[@Master_Yoda1990]

Sometimes tranquilizers can't be use, usually because the cougar is a spot where they can't get a clear shot, like under the house in that one clip.

[@plexiglass3599]

It can be difficult to get the right dose for an animal. Having too high of a dose may kill them, too small and they could have no effect at all. This is to say you have access to tranquilizers in the first place. Regardless, I agree. These men put the life of the animal before their own safety. Heros.

[@GrandCorsair]

As sorry as I would feel for the poor tired cougar I don't think it would be wise to let in your boat.

[@peplsuk7635]

Why dont you quit baiting them and leave them alone?

[@ninjafrog6966]

🤡

[@h3llnite]

Nope my dogs and a ML means I am going out with a shovel, rake or whatever I can find to save my pets

[@shirleyszeliga914]

Stop bugging them shame on you.

[@ninjafrog6966]

how many times are you going to comment the same brain rot? many of the people in these clips are literally getting stalked by these animals. the proper response is to shout and make it known to the animal that you see them. cougars are ambush predators, if they lose their element of surprise, they get bored and leave. there’s no harassment tree hugger

[@reckingt33]

I once thought a cougar came out of some bushes and came to attack me but it turned out it was a dog. I only didn’t identify it when I first saw it cause the face was covered by a big leaf from a tree

[@The_Cholo]

I had a cougar chase me once..It was scary but eventually I gave in and f'd her.

[@pierce_arrow1798]

Poor dogs, that home owner should have been out there with a shotgun instead of sacrificing their dogs like a coward. I’d rather someone like that be attacked than some innocent dogs

[@kathybrem880]

Just roaring and throwing stuff scares these cats-they’re very nosy but also very timid when they know you see them. Ambush predators don’t want to be seen

[@capnlongdong1396]

Yeah every American gets a government sponsored shotgun when we graduate high school, why didn't that guy just pull out his shotgun that everyone has? Since he didn't pull out his shotgun he deserves to be attacked, not the dogs that are naturally being defensive by antagonizing a predator. Barking dogs lives are worth far more than a scared human...wtf is wrong with you.

[@SheilaKnigge-pj9si]

I agree why would you do that ! Those are your dogs no heart at all ! I hope those dogs are ok but who knows

[@gbc.art.bra.49]

LOL I night hike in Brazil every weekend and there are Jaguars too. They are just big cats, not big deal like that because they are easy to scare... Bears though are a different story and we ain't got them here

Mountain lions kill people every year here in the USA. Just so ya know.

Don't fear the mountain lion. Respect it. I respect those men that set the mountain lion free from their trap.

They had to. Season must have ended or the quota was met. Otherwise it wouldn’t have been set free. That’s part of trapping

[@nolanstrokos9895]

The person recording his two dogs needs to never have animals or kids! Just sits in his house and records it like wtf at least scream or do something if you don’t have a gun….

The first clip. That cat doesn’t have big teeth anymore. So sad.

[@dizcret]

"The man stands there in Utter dis-belief" more like Im watching in Utter Dis-belief, how someone can be alone in BC wilderness, or ANY Wildness's, without A} a gun..OK, not for everyone, or allowed places, so B} a Bear Banger device!?! 3Thats easy. 3} Bear Spray ffs, even easier.

Alone! mehh~

[@Dankalank]

WTF did they do to the first cat?? It's missing its fangs and you can see blood running down the chin :|

[@crackerman5519]

obviously. it trapped itself in his yard and is fighting for its life. so its biting everything in sight without self restraint resulting in injury. its very common

[@Dankalank]

@@crackerman5519 Right. "Obviously". One would think that a predator would spare its primary hunting tool in favor of something more easily replaced, such as claws.

[@Em-oy8on]

I asked the same question. Where are its fangs? Both upper canines (fangs) were absent, but the teeth around them appear to be healthy. I believe the fangs were removed by human intervention, and not in the wild.

[@SGhosht]

Bro was def rooting for the cat in the Cat vs cops video

[@quaileggsvermont]

Canoeing it's a boat not a canoe!! WTF!

[@rogerfarley8104]

The narration of this is overly dramatic and idiotic.

[@Jaysupafly1]

So Basically a video of people living in their territory or walking through the territory bothering the shit out of these animals

[@cdh5583]

My thoughts exactly!!

[@TheBeefSlayer]

It doesn’t belong to them. 😂 They live there but they don’t own it. We have a relationship with the wildlife here in the USA. We have biologist that protect habitat and maintain these ecosystems. They are there for us to enjoy. A lucky few are given permission to buy a permit and hunt a mountain lion. It’s a give and take relationship.

Mountain lions aren't endangered

[@Flair258]

Mountain Lions are present almost everywhere. You're thinking about typical Lions. Mountain Lions are a different species entirely.

[@Metalworkersteve]

They actually have many names depending where you live puma, cougars or Mt lion. And harassment with the dogs is good a healthy fear of humans makes attacks less likely and keeps the cat away from the guy that shoots first.

[@darienchrysafis3655]

This is when you need to toss a nice sized packet of cat nip to the mountain lion.

[@ninjafrog6966]

or back away slowly while maintaining eye contact and make as much noise as you can to avoid becoming a hashtag

[@darkwolve114]

You've just gotta buck up to them. Chase them. Asset dominance. Kitties are pretty easily freaked out and don't stick around for craziness. That's the key... Act crazy and sporadic at them. They'll bail.

[@sherryelder9511]

There's a few of them around merkle county and Abilene,and one night my mom was driving home from novis TX when one went across the road from a rock like surface.

[@terribrown3485]

[@zig4347]

Big cats are stronger than dogs somehow

[@MorbidKat]

The first guy of the video deserved whatever was coming to him. Unfortunately that would result in the cat being put down.

[@DennisRichardH]

Trevor had a couple of things going for him. One, he yelled very aggressively, and two, he had a walking stick he used to strike his surroundings aggressively. Probably the best reason to carry one!

[@N8_Lee]

@20:25 [#11 "Hey Cat!" 👋 ] You know how incredibly good you have to be to sneak up on a wild predator like that while walking around in the woods? If deer can smell, see, hear you before you. Then just imagine the wildlife that hunts them regularly. Those three Cats isn't "Stalking" around ...😂😂 🤜💥🤛 [ FIST BUMP 👊 😎]

Number 21… Good Lord, if that man doesn’t take that video to the park rangers…! That poor cougar had an enormous lump on its face. It could’ve been a cancer or it could’ve been an abscess, but whatever it was it needs intervention.

#19..the cat has a huge lump or maybe a tumor growing on the left side of its face....my best guess, possibly an infection from porcupine quills.

[@wildlifeofcumbriaandthelak8223]

These sort of videos are very interesting to watch, as it shows very close encounters. But the also make me sick because of the commentary!! He always calls the animal, viscious, or deadly, or hungry or whatever! When in reality the animals are usually curious or defending THEIR turf. The narrator needs to change his tact, because those of us who know, know that he is only after sensationalism! And that, unfortunately give the wrong idea to those who don’t know anything about animals!!

[@scotta.5681]

Thank god the use the red arrows and circles to show the cougar or I would have missed it totally. The narration is ridiculous and the use of shocking words is more than annoying. Most of the time the animals are just being mountain lions trying to live their life around humans.

[@daniellenagy6678]

Ok if some of these people video taping got attacked then it would make sense. Don’t approach or follow a large predator just because it looks cool. Leave nature be before an accident happens. Lucky them cats had no cubs with them to protect.

[@janebond8342]

I don't understand why men attack a cougar and when it defends itself, somehow it's the cougar who is the aggressor.

[@CC-bfboBS]

With all do respect, the narrator needs to get a different job, the script writer needs to shut up, both know nothing about cats of any kind, both are promoting fear and disrespect, ie; the first segment, was a gift of trust between wild and humanity, i could have lain down and admired that cat for as long as she was willing to allow, she had not one ounce of provocative behavior, she was resting in a safe place(fyi thats trust Not viciousness)
