Man Films Group of Mountain Lions on Porch in Colorado

Andy Davis was enjoying his morning coffee and preparing for an early workout when four mountain lions suddenly jumped onto his porch in Conifer, Colorado.
Davis said that seeing wildlife such as deer and elk is quite common but this was the first time he had ever seen a mountain lion so he grabbed his phone and began to record.

My Advice: Don't ever sunbath on the porch with headphones on.

[@canam851]

No worries that animal wants nothing to do with you.

[@foxhound9285]

Seems wildlife are always wondering around in Colorado. Last time I stayed at a motel there, elk came into the parking lot making all kinds of noises.

[@1STGeneral]

Nonsense of predator animals won't hurt you unless 'insert reason here' are why family's continue to lose children and adults are attacked. I lived in Colorado for five years hiking with my son Joe that had muscular dystrophy in a special made backpack so he could explore places others with his condition couldn't. I carried a 45 caliber and people made their comments one family was headed up a trail my son and I came down a female mountain lion that had never had cubs killed their son. 1999 I believe Poudre canyon reservoir trail

[@canam851]

@@1STGeneral when that animal is on your porch he's not looking for trouble.

[@1STGeneral]

@@canam851 Anyone who doesn't consider a mountain lion deadly is a careless person. When a person over 6 foot uses their mountain bike to protect an injured child and the cat comes back after emergency personnel are there and has to be put down is not going to play nice if they claim the area in this video as their's. I currently live in a remote area of the Appalachian mountains with a stream on our property and understand living remotely you need to know and respect your surroundings

If you move into a wild animal's space, you must treat them with respect just the way this was done. Truly heartwarming and moving, fear is not the answer, they belong.

What is this stupid leftist fantasy about "treating them with respect"??!!! Don't you remember the two moronic lefties who "respected" the grizzlies until one day they simply got eaten??!!! No wild animal ever says to himself, "Wow, she really respects me." NO!

And while gators can climb fences, they won't with a dog because they're ambush predators and much more shy than crocs, so dogs scare them away unless they're huge.

No need to harm the cats or you would be killing every natural predator including wolves and bears. The cougars just need to be deterred from the area and the owners of the home have to be super vigilant i.e. small pets, small children kept guarded, try not to travel at night, beware of overhangs.

[@TheDeenaPan]

@@joewojcik258 they don't attack people unprovoked. They are a wild animal that is an ambush Hunter that is only doing what comes naturally to them for hunting prey. As humans when we decide to take a jog in nature we should also be aware of the risks of encountering the natural inhabitants. Most mountain lion attacks are on people who are jogging, walking, running, biking, or small children from behind (Prey characteristics to a cougar). Cougar are solitary creatures and do not like confrontation unless they are cornered or protecting their young. I live in the mountains and expect wild animals live in the woods around me so therefore I expect every time I leave my house to be aware of my surroundings and the chance that I could have an encounter with a wild animal. Just because I choose to live in the mountains I cannot expect the animals to stop being wild. Cougars don't run around and viciously maul people for the fun of it. We as humans are encroaching on their feeding grounds so we then become a new form of prey for them as we have scared away much of their normal prey. Animals are not malicious, humans are.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I had the unexpected privilege and joy of seeing a puma in the wild on a university geology field training trip to Utah 40 years ago. The puma was on a steep roadcut above us, just watching, while slowly making his way up higher. He was absolutely magnificent, a hush fell over the whole group I was with, what a treat. Someone said “he must by nine feet tip to tail”. I wasn’t sure about that, but looked it up when I got back, and yes, mature pumas do get that long, partly because they have very long tails. The males can be 225 lbs. and the females top out at about 175, but most are smaller. They tend to weigh about what an average man does, 150 lbs. or so. I fell in love with pumas that day and never “got over” it! How wonderful to see a whole family group at once. Pumas won’t hurt people unless they threaten them, and of course, any mother, of any species, will be extra cautious and protective around her young. They don’t eat people or common pets (dogs and cats, who are omnivores and carnivores, respectively). They eat vegetarian, grazing animals like we humans do, they taste a lot better, compare eating beef to eating a jackal! They almost exclusively hunt deer, if available, and similar ungulates. But, if necessary, they will eat “mouse to moose” (sorry, don’t remember whom to credit for this quote). Most human/puma conflicts occur because they will kill and eat unprotected livestock like sheep and goats. We can’t expect them to understand they we consider these delicious ungulates off-limits, they must be protected in predator-proof enclosures, not just tethered on a picket rope waiting to be eaten!
