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.

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?

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.

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.

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 was camping on a logging road out in the sticks around Kennedy Meadows Ca and one night I heard that, I got out of my bag so fast, gun in hand because it was the most blood curdling sounds I ever heard! I will never forget that!

There are a lot of them here in Brazil and they used to go the cities.

Back in 1974 I knew a guy named "Catdaddy." He hunted the big cats without a permit, eventually going to prison for a few years. When he got out he fell right back into bad habits. He would hang out on the ridges with real old school NVG he stole from the army and take these whenever he could. One night, a cat found him first and snuck up from behind. He ended up falling in love with it and they moved into a cave together. Several man-cat children were the result of this union. Last I heard he was working the railroad in '98.

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

Reminded me of the old Lincoln-Mercury ads in the 70s. They used a Cougar for the ads.

very beautiful animal

[@barunjena6171]

Looks terrifying but makes kawai noises😂

[@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.

I'm glad to find another creature that makes the same sounds as I do in the morning. I do this to claim my territory. Its also better than a coffee at self stimulating ✨🌈🍀

I found your channel because I was cross-referenceing a puma sound from England I watched the video of a camper who had been setting trail cams and he took molds of a big cats paws and they were confirmed bye experts to be a big cat then in the early hours he recorded the same sound has this I checked it out myself bye matching the sounds on your channel every year we get loads of sightings of big cats but this is the first time I have heard one makeing this sound incredible

[@jimpalmer4916]

These cats are the Apex Predators. Felix con color is in a class of its own. They're capable of taking down an elk, as I have seen a it happen. I just don't see how they can move about very silently, like a ghost! The north American Indians called these cats : noshdootska and translated into English as The Ghosts of the Mountains. These cats can make various noises from a bird chirping to a full blown screaming lady with her hair on fire 🔥!

They struggle against a young male hiker

A lady screaming is anything but terrifying

Love that you mentioned elk, another cute and dangerous mammal with an equally ominous-sounding cry.

[@jayh5840]

@@mahfoudseraf5995are you an imbecile? If they don't have a gun a cat like this would rip a person to shreds. You think a person has a chance of punching and kicking a full grown cougar to death?

[@TigersharkNation2691]

Sounds more like a high-pitched roar to me, not a scream

WoW, mad meow from puddy tat. Last June, in my city, I recorded one laying in my yard. Just kept looking at me, so got him on my other yt channel. It was Wonderful! I have never in my life seen one in my city, let alone my yard. They're so beautiful 🙋‍♀️💙✝️🇺🇸
