The Powerful Puma Screams!

The powerful puma patrols the canyon in the Angeles National Forest on December 7, 2022.
(turn on the sound)
Believe it or not, this was most likely a message for the other male lion, who was in this very spot, five hours earlier, and then returned only twenty minutes after this. Twenty minutes! More to come later. Stay tuned.

[@sugarnap245]

Agreed. Terrifying sound to hear in the woods at night. Have only had the pleasure of hearing it once or twice - coincidentally less than a mile from where a neighbor witnessed a mountain lion come grab their 12 year old son by the neck off of their own porch and drag him away. Cant remember but I’m pretty sure the boy was fine, the parents came out and screamed and yelled until the cat dropped him. I’ve hunted out in that area for years. Big cat tracks. Never actually saw him. Im sure they saw me though

To anyone thinking of camping in the wilderness, it honestly pays dividends to watch videos like this one. Whenever it's after dark and you and your squad are gathered around the fire and you hear some shit like this out in the trees, you get to be the gigachad who goes, "It's a mountain lion.

I also found out the cats have been spotted for several years in the area. I am really glad I didn’t go outside.

[@hammer44head]

@ why wouldn’t mountain lions be in Indiana? I now know 5 people who have caught mountain lions on trail cam. The furthest is 30 miles apart over the last 14 years. So either 1 mountain lion travels a lot or there is more than 1. Furthermore Indiana is not as populated as most states with lots of forests and abundant wildlife.

@Sims3ForeverDude Your 'scientific' semantics defy the obvious realities. The realities are that they are cats that are the physical size of adult humans. That makes them physically large cats. And even though they may be physically inferior to African lions, tigers and most jaguars, they are still physically larger than leopards - the smallest of the pantheras. If a puma had you pinned to the ground with your neck in his jaws, would you still be thinking that this is a 'lesser cat' at that moment?

@@mirrorblue100 I know a guy who was walking a trail in Brown County Park with his German shepherd about ten years ago and a timber rattlesnake bit his dog in the face. I wouldn't have thought those snakes lived in Indiana but apparently they do. I suppose the same thing could be said of big predatory cats. There's plenty of wooded areas for a nocturnal animal to go undetected

I have seen rattlers around Lake Monroe. Give them a wide berth.@@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973

Puma Messi from Penza sounds pretty similar when his human dad Sasha leaves him for more than 3 minutes, bless his loving gentle soul... ♥️🏡🎎⚽🐹🥑🐆🌄

The best!

[@annanardo2358]

Yes ! I watch Messi and his dad Sasha every day ! Messi can be clingy when Sasha is out of his sight, he calls out for his dad . Sleeps in dads bed, has his own in house "den" . Messi wants for nothing. A lucky puma he is. 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

Yeah I love his squawky meow. :)

Absolute magnificent and powerful creature. People have to respect this legendary animal ‘s space, peace and environment. It’s so unfortunate when one has to be killed.

[@annanardo2358]

Big cats should never be killed. If a human ventures in the woods, their territory, they should NOT be allowed to be arm. Otherwise, don't go in THEIR environment w/ the intention that if you do see a bear, A puma or whatever species you either scare him off or run up a tree. Killing is NOT an option. Animal life , any wildlife is PRECIOUS. Humans are the predators in this world.

As deadly as they are, to me they resemble domestic cats more so than the other bigger cats do.

[@fawnn1644]

That's because domestic cats, pumas, and most are both from the subfamily Felinae (sometimes referred to as the "small cat"). The "Big Cats" are from the subfamily Pantherinae.

[@mr_silver_eyes]

Pumas/cougars/panthers/mountain lions are giant cats, just not part of the family officially called “big cats”. Therefore they’re closer to lynxes and bobcats than they are to tigers and jaguars.

I remember the first time I heard a Mtn lion scream while we were out deer/hog hunting in California. I legit thought it was a lady screaming until my dad said, no, that’s a Mtn lion. I lived in California for most of my growing up years and hunted my whole life, and had never seen one. But hearing it and not seeing it was literally bone chilling. Then a few years ago, my family was out hunting and a Mtn lion was stalking a guy walking down a valley to flush out any possible deer. Luckily his hunting partners were watching him as he was coming down the Mtn, and noticed he was being being stalked, and only about 30 yards above him. His friends, although sketchy, shot in his direction to kill it before it was able to get him. I have always wanted to actually see one, just never in that sort of circumstance. Amazing creatures though.

[@tonyprice2256]

All wild felines seem to be among the most elusive of creatures. I have spent most of my 66 years in the rural areas of Western Massachusetts. Over the years have seen many black bear, deer, moose and many other smaller forms of wildlife. But even though the bobcat population is considered to be relatively large in pretty much every state, i have only seen one in the wild. I would wager that both you and i have been seen hundreds of times by wild cats over the years of spending time in the woods.

[@AcmePotatoPackingPocatello]

Ya, I never saw one. Heard one close and bone chilling is the correct term. I've seen fishers, marten, black bear, and possibly a wolverine...which shocked me, but never a cougar. Western Washington near mount St Helens

[@zacharyelam5377]

@@tonyprice2256 I’ve seen quite a few wild bobcats. Very cool animals as well. Actually was out shooting squirrels with my daughter, brother and dad, and a bobcat came out of the tree line and ran and snagged a squirrel that my brother had just shot off of a fence post about 30 yards from the cat, then immediately ran back into the trees. Was so crazy to witness. Super cool. I live on our family cattle ranch in Montana now, and our rancher neighbor about 3 miles away has seen a few mountain lions on his property. So they’re definitely around here. I still want to see one, but also don’t want to risk our cattle either. Kind of a catch 22. Haha

Had one of these noises right outside of my house in the Ozarks in Northern Arkansas. Almost a week straight every night. Literally on my porch. My cats were staring out the window hissing every night. I had to bring up a few of these videos as I was laying in bed to make sure that's what it was . They say we don't have any but there's been a few hit by cars around here. Obviously they are growing in population.

[@annanardo2358]

He's calling for his friend. He can't find his friend. And he's been looking for a long time. ...any cat whispered can see and sense that. Poor cat.. He's beautiful though, but lonely without his friend, and he turned up a notch. Hope he finds him. 🤔😍😍😍😍😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

[@garytakeahike]

Scared as hell if I was hiking and heard that.

[@24SparrowJack]

Hikers are often fooled by them thinking it's a woman in distress so they go off the trail and normally end up getting lost

[@The-GreenHornet]

I WAS hiking and off in the thick brush about 50 yards away I heard this. It wasn't as loud as this mountain lion is sounding, but I immediately knew what it was. The hair on the back of my neck was standing up. I fortunately was right next to my car, and I quickly got inside, with windows just cracked. I didn't hear it again.

Sounds like a anxiety ridden cat trying to scream but suffering from laryngitis. This is definitely the Mike Tyson of large cats.

[@olympia5758]

Why is he screaming? Telling other cougars his territory?

[@humpermonkey]

I think that’s what’s going on in this particular clip. A few weeks earlier, this same male lion, was in front of this camera, caterwauling, while trying to reach out to a nearby female lion. This time though, I think this was more about being territorial, considering there was a different male lion here, only 20 minutes after this.
