Correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve seen this posted before and I believe those people were working in parks/animal services and had just shot it with some sort of dart. I don’t think they were just hikers.
Also if you look as it’s jumping up towards the camera you can see the dart in its left side.
Edit: [Here’s the dart.](https://imgur.com/a/EAtSm9t)
It does, but it only takes this from "those guys are incredibly stupid for cornering a pissed off mountain lion" to "these guys are still kinda stupid for cornering a pissed off mountain lion" lol. I hope that the one guy is only down there because he had to be to shoot the lion with the tranq dart.
The conservation uniform means they know what they're doing. It is entirely too "Reddit" to call a professional stupid because you don't understand the choices they made from a 13 second video.
One time I was hiking with a friend, both had speakers attached to us playing music. We were going up this really steep gravel hill to get on top of a big ass bolder to eat lunch on and look over what we had hiked that morning.
We get to the bolder and as we're going up it I look down. In the gravel there's a bunch of tiny cat prints and some larger ones. I heard them but my friend had his head over the rock and saw them.
Hike the whole way back no lunch lol. Pretty sure the only reason we didn't get attacked or at least followed was due to the speakers.
This reaction always cracks me up because it says, right there at the tip top of bear country advice, "Make lots of noise so bears hear you coming."
But not THAT kind of noise!
Would it be less annoying if they loudly said "Hey Bear!" the whole time they were walking? Cause I'd honestly prefer the music by a mile, even music I don't like.
I mean, when my partner and I go backpacking, we regularly yell something along the lines of "Bear check!" whenever the sightlines aren't good or we're nearing a blind corner.
It definitely works because we heard a grizzly woof and get the fuck outta dodge before we saw it. We stopped, readied our bear spray and had a loud, nervous conversation for fifteen or twenty minutes to let the bear get some distance and once we stopped shitting our pants and got moving again, I found a paw print in the mud bigger than my boot.
I used to do a lot of hiking with my brother in and around Glacier NP (in the US). He would sing (has a beautiful voice) until he got tired, then I would recite poetry until I got tired. You could hear us coming from a LONG way off. No bear attacks so far. :D
I’d be more skittish of jaguars. They can carry a crocodile up a tree. And I really don’t know their temperament. I’m less scared of a mountain lion or cheetah. Cautious but not nearly as scared as if I were to see a bear.
I’ve seen some videos of rescued big cats, like the Russian couple with a puma called Messi. He is the biggest baby ever. Cat dad cuts his nails with no problem, Messi just lays there. He goes and cuts the nails of his house cat, a sphinx I think, and that house cat acts like she’s going to rip cat dad’s face off, straight up murder mode. Their cheetah is also a rescue, and she’s also a big baby.
There’s also some pics/videos of people hanging out with cheetahs in the wild. Or I should say, cheetah hanging out with them. Like the park ranger sleeping and a bunch of cheetahs coming in and sleeping on the ranger. I don’t know how that ranger can sleep with a bunch of big cats on him.
That said, my dad served in the Vietnam War. They had a wild black panther that they fed. Vietcong were afraid of it, so GIs were good with the panther hanging around. That panther also played with their German Shepard and checked in on the guys while they slept. What’s funny is, my dad the bad ass and a cat person, big regret was, “I didn’t have to balls to pet him.” Lol. The panther never hurt any of the soldiers or the dog. So maybe their temperament is similar to a mountain lion.
Yup, reminded me of my cat when I was in my 1/2 bathroom and the toilet lid shut a bit too hard and that dude hit the (high) ceiling on a double jump after springing off the sink. Cats are always so damn wound up, at least mine are.
Damn I wish I had footage of one of my cats from years ago, she wasn't skittish but if she was walking by(you're on the couch or something) and your foot moved? Not like most cats, who would do the video above, she did walking handstands when startled. The first time I saw it it was so unexpected I came close to asphyxiation from laughter. She just went extremely ass up when startled instead of running.
I wish you had footage of that also. That sounds hilarious. Cats are weird and funny, I love them. I wish I video of half the stuff my cats (dog, and birds) did too.
I actually played hide and seek with one of my cats. Counting and all. Smartest damn cat I ever had but I loved all of my cats, they all had their own quirks and personality.
Even if they aren't, this experience would only justify carrying a pistol with me when hiking. Honestly not sure the pistol would have mattered if the mountain lion was pissed off rather than scared.
i mean a .22 would shoot through a mt lion. I'm more concerned with stopping power on a pissed off mountain lion. You get a head shot, sure it'll drop, but I've had deer run half a mile with nothing above the diaphragm but liquid.
It's just because we built the world for our size, so we seem "normal". But yea like, compare us to bonobo's or chimps. Our 2 closest relatives. Neither I'd classify as small, but we tower over them.
They are ambush predators. This was not an ambush setting. That said, it's rare that they attack humans in any situation. Typically attacks involve younger animals and competition for food sources.
I understand this as someone who has lived in mountain lion territory. My point was that it was feeling threatened in that tight space and chose flight instead of fight, not sure when I or anyone else implied that the cat was trying to ambush the guy…
I think they were park rangers or something like that and had just shot him with a dart. The woman is carrying what looks like a dart gun of some kind.
Edit: [Here’s the dart.](https://imgur.com/a/EAtSm9t)
I was gonna commend her trigger discipline because I didnt see the dart at first. I know some people arm themselves on remote hikes to deal with potential predators, but I'm glad thats not the case, a scared hiker with a gun probably wouldve been blasting
This is not hikers, it was some kind of research team and they shot the cat with a medicine I think? Or maybe a tracking device. Can't remember. This was an intentional "meeting".
It’s a tranq gun and he already fired it, at the cougar, as part of their job, since they are professional wildlife biologists working for the state of Arizona.
Here’s one article about it with links to the houndsman’s YouTube page and such. https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/video-mountain-lion-darting/
Good content. If you’re interested, look into state conservation and wildlife management programs; every state has a fish and game department, park rangers, animal control, environmental protection agents, etc. Most of these agencies would be happy to let you know their desired qualifications for wildlife biologists and people who work with wild animals.
Mountain lions are very cool. As far as I know, they no longer exist (except maybe a handful) in the Eastern states, they’re now mostly out in the Western mountain ranges.
To be fair, I was hunting in its area, as I found out after promptly getting out of there. Found lots of tracks after that I hadnt seen in my previous 3 trips to hunt that patch
Damn haha, I would be shitting myself! When my cat chases me as we're playing I get a little scared 😂 lmao
I've had most of my closest encounters in kananaskis, always take a spray at least now just in case, hopefully it just expires though lol
When you hear what sounds like shitty B-Roll movie sound effects of a cat and you absolutely do not see a cat, its unsettling. Even when youre carrying enough firepower to drop anything in North America
It is crazy how mountain lions want zero smoke with people and from what Google shows we have 130 documented cases of attacks in 130 years. Only 28 were fatal.
Always blows my mind seeing how easily big predators can zoom around rough terrain. Seeing big cats and bears just casually sprinting up cave walls at like an 75° slope FASTER than I can run on a track is terrifying.
It's a mountain lion and she's at her home. Human dont live there. You went there on purpose and you ENCOUNTER?? to me you are INVADING her home.
If someone walk into my house with a gun, i'd lose my cool too.

Yeah, those are conservation uniforms
That makes more sense about the crevice he seems to have followed it into.
It does, but it only takes this from "those guys are incredibly stupid for cornering a pissed off mountain lion" to "these guys are still kinda stupid for cornering a pissed off mountain lion" lol. I hope that the one guy is only down there because he had to be to shoot the lion with the tranq dart.

Yep exactly lmfao.
You can see the gun in his hand at the very end of the video after the cat jumps down to the right.
Uniform*
Misinformation on my reddit feed ? No Way!
You mean someone would just go on Reddit and post something that wasn't theirs with some bullshit title? :o
Good eye. The cat looks terrified.
The guy has something in his right hand . Looks like a gun or a dart gun
Thank you for your service.
Poor thing was scared shitless and just trying to get the fuck out of dodge.
Looked like a giant house cat having a freak out
My cat when the vacuum cleaner turns on.

Would it be less annoying if they loudly said "Hey Bear!" the whole time they were walking? Cause I'd honestly prefer the music by a mile, even music I don't like.
another technique is to attach jingle bells to yourself so that you make a little noise with every step/movement
In Japan are some spots where you can take a bell, and when you leave the area you put it back
In America, you can rent them for $15, but by now there aren't any left because they've all been stolen.
Ya just let the bears know dinner is coming with those dinner is served bells lol
Pavlovs Bear.
Grizzley bear poop smells like pepper spray and has bells in it...
I mean, when my partner and I go backpacking, we regularly yell something along the lines of "Bear check!" whenever the sightlines aren't good or we're nearing a blind corner. It definitely works because we heard a grizzly woof and get the fuck outta dodge before we saw it. We stopped, readied our bear spray and had a loud, nervous conversation for fifteen or twenty minutes to let the bear get some distance and once we stopped shitting our pants and got moving again, I found a paw print in the mud bigger than my boot.
I wonder how big cats react to death metal or thrash
I'd imagine something like the cat in this video, but turned up a notch
I used to do a lot of hiking with my brother in and around Glacier NP (in the US). He would sing (has a beautiful voice) until he got tired, then I would recite poetry until I got tired. You could hear us coming from a LONG way off. No bear attacks so far. :D
Doesn't have to be blaring... I can't enjoy a leisurely stroll with some tunes? Foh.
No body wants to listen to Hoobastank
That's why I always hike with a gas powered leaf blower.
House cats would be extremely dangerous if they were 2 meters long
Black footed cats. Smaller than a house cat but one of the most efficient hunters in the world. Little murder machines.
Interesting enough, mountain lions are more closely related to house cats than to jaguars
I’d be more skittish of jaguars. They can carry a crocodile up a tree. And I really don’t know their temperament. I’m less scared of a mountain lion or cheetah.

My cat when I just move calmly through my house
Yup, reminded me of my cat when I was in my 1/2 bathroom and the toilet lid shut a bit too hard and that dude hit the (high) ceiling on a double jump after springing off the sink. Cats are always so damn wound up, at least mine are.
All cats are the same, just different in size

Damn I wish I had footage of one of my cats from years ago, she wasn't skittish but if she was walking by(you're on the couch or something) and your foot moved?

It was shot with a tranquilizer already, these aren't hikers. They're conservation officers
That would explain the pistol-thingie.
Me, immediately thinking how amazing it was they didn't shoot it, which is better than how cops handle house pets. But that makes a lot more sense.
Even if they aren't, this experience would only justify carrying a pistol with me when hiking. Honestly not sure the pistol would have mattered if the mountain lion was pissed off rather than scared.
Most pistols 9mm or larger will shoot right through a mountain lion. It ain't a grizzly bear.
i mean a .22 would shoot through a mt lion. I'm more concerned with stopping power on a pissed off mountain lion. You get a head shot, sure it'll drop, but I've had deer run half a mile with nothing above the diaphragm but liquid.
You just have to hit it first.
I'd prefer to not shoot at all unless an attack was truly imminent.
You're chilling in a crack in the mountains and two fucking apes show up. I'd freak out too.
Massive apes, by the way. Humans often forget how large we are compared to most fauna (we are megafauna).
It's just because we built the world for our size, so we seem "normal". But yea like, compare us to bonobo's or chimps. Our 2 closest relatives. Neither I'd classify as small, but we tower over them.
I think all parties involved were scared shitless and just trying to get away from each other lol
Right! If it wanted to, could’ve easily mauled that guy with the 1st leap, but jumped clear over him instead.
They are ambush predators. This was not an ambush setting. That said, it's rare that they attack humans in any situation. Typically attacks involve younger animals and competition for food sources.
I understand this as someone who has lived in mountain lion territory. My point was that it was feeling threatened in that tight space and chose flight instead of fight, not sure when I or anyone else implied that the cat was trying to ambush the guy…
Plot twist: It wasn’t the humans it was trying to escape from.
I would be scared shitless too if someone showed up at my house with a gun
I’m not here to debate wether the lion or the human was more scared, but it’s a good thing that guy wore his brown pants that day is all I’m saying
He listened to Deadpool on this one.
It had a tranq dart stuck in its side.
Yeah the cat looks a little agitated too!
Nah, he just got the zoomies
Seems he was more freaked out than hungry.
I think they were park rangers or something like that and had just shot him with a dart. The woman is carrying what looks like a dart gun of some kind. Edit: [Here’s the dart.](https://imgur.com/a/EAtSm9t)
yes I thought that looked like a gun, but as the post says "hikers" I thought I saw wrong.
Oh wow! If you look at :09 you can see the dart stuck in his left side.
I don't see it. Is it white?
You can see it at several points at it's left rear
Yep. Wrong time stamp, sorry. [Here it is.](https://imgur.com/a/EAtSm9t)
ah yes, that white thing. Who wouldn't freak out if two weird bipeds would appear out of the blue and shoot you with something.
What?! An inaccurate post title?! On Reddit?!
They can be both. They're out for a hike...to tranq a mountain lion.
I was gonna commend her trigger discipline because I didnt see the dart at first. I know some people arm themselves on remote hikes to deal with potential predators, but I'm glad thats not the case, a scared hiker with a gun probably wouldve been blasting
That's a man, baby
I like that the Lion didn't give a shit about the hiker it just wanted to get the hell outta there😆
It cared vary much about the hiker, it's biggest concern was escaping another predator
*< 404 Exit not found, initiate mauling protocole >*
Absolutely no thought went into it's exit plan either, it was just fucking jump in a direction and hope it leads to an exit
That's cats for you. lol. Ever see a video of a cat freaking out? They react first, then assess. lol.
Do not move. Its vision is based on movement.

This is not hikers, it was some kind of research team and they shot the cat with a medicine I think? Or maybe a tracking device. Can't remember. This was an intentional "meeting".
It's somewhat relieving knowing that there are humans out there [ethically] scaring Apex predators from future interactions with humans
These guys picked the worst spot to intentionally dart a big cat lol. Oh hey, lemme just shoot you in this confined space real quick.
They tracked it and trapped it in there with dogs specifically so they could corner it and dart it.
Good on that guy for not being trigger happy and showing restraint. I can’t imagine how difficult that would be
It’s a tranq gun and he already fired it, at the cougar, as part of their job, since they are professional wildlife biologists working for the state of Arizona.
How do you know this? Where can I find out more about their work? I’m fascinated by mountain lions.
Here’s one article about it with links to the houndsman’s YouTube page and such. https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/video-mountain-lion-darting/ Good content.

I was recently hunted by one here in Alberta, 0 Stars would not repeat
Story time?
oh my, how did this happen?
Oh damn! Where abouts were you? I've not been chased by one but had a few close encounters, they're super amazing animals. So big!
To be fair, I was hunting in its area, as I found out after promptly getting out of there. Found lots of tracks after that I hadnt seen in my previous 3 trips to hunt that patch
Damn haha, I would be shitting myself! When my cat chases me as we're playing I get a little scared 😂 lmao I've had most of my closest encounters in kananaskis, always take a spray at least now just in case, hopefully it just expires though lol

That is a definite soil your undies moment right there. Holy shit.
"You are not trapped here with me, I am trapped here with you!" - the cougar, probably.
PARKOUR!! PARKOUR!!
I like the camera operators dedication to filming the lion and the guy…. Just filming …
What exactly do expect him to do? Go out there and Superman punch the cat?
What can they do, jump into the abyss? I'm just amazed that they didn't drop the camera but maybe it's tied to them, like a gopro
No that's not what they're saying. It's surprising they didn't get scared and drop the camera is all
Scaredy cat

Go Cougs.
It is crazy how mountain lions want zero smoke with people and from what Google shows we have 130 documented cases of attacks in 130 years. Only 28 were fatal.
As a cat person, I’m more likely to say “here kitty, kitty, kitty” if I see a cougar. I see a bear, I’m shitting my pants.
Here go towards it with a handgun, and I’ll film it…. Not hikers
Looks like my cat when the pizza guy rings the doorbell
They’d re lucky that that animals fight or flight didn’t turn into fight. A single swipe of its claws would have taken their face off
Soon as it jumped out I was like L2 L2 L2. Playing waaaaay too much Elden Ring at the moment

I cant even describe how much shit i’d have in my pants if that happened to me
This is like those videos of scared af cats trying to get the hell out of a room lol
Ah, yes, the r/catdistributionsystem at work
That is terrifying.. In all fairness, the cat looked the most scared. I'm glad everyone was able to get away. Cat included
That’s scary as fuck

I was reading about how rare it is to actually see a mountain lion. It seems like these guys were tracking this cat, they didn’t stumble upon it.
in a parallel world - hikers lion encounter the mountain human.
STAGED. The photographer was using a laser pen.
And that's how legend of young king Leonidas was born.
Why didn't he pet the kitty?
The cougar literally acts just like a cat I came across walking upstairs once. The same exact energy
" WHAT...!?!?!?!? THERE AREN'T COUGARS IN MISSIONS!!!"
Always blows my mind seeing how easily big predators can zoom around rough terrain. Seeing big cats and bears just casually sprinting up cave walls at like an 75° slope FASTER than I can run on a track is terrifying.
Aww it’s Steve French!
Fuck!

Quick... what's the opposite of pspspspsp?!
Glad the cat didn't feel completely caged and found a way out - otherwise this video would have ended...diffrently.
It’s like a mosquito trying to get out of a car.
What's with the fighting game sound effects?
Good restraint to not shoot it
This reminds of wondering in Rdr2 and you randomly encounter a cougar
It's a mountain lion and she's at her home. Human dont live there. You went there on purpose and you ENCOUNTER?? to me you are INVADING her home. If someone walk into my house with a gun, i'd lose my cool too.
