Baby couger underestimated the old cougers and fkd around and found out!
It has been estimated that approximately 20-22 deaths occur each year in the United States from cattle. So watch out if there are any cows around!
Thank G oh d for these friends and your bravery and not giving up.
Most people would have run away or pulled their cell phone out and started recording
It was not a successful hunt. Cougar wuld have learned not to do that again
Let's hope that cougars [or any other wild animal] biting humans doesn't become a frequent phenomenon. Attacking humans can be a death sentence to the offending animals. If this were to happen on an industrial scale, cougars would cease to exist.
A Cougar !!! What was her name Nara...😂😂😂😂
Translate this previously
That'll be the last time some wild felines go after a pack of cougars; or we can only hope... stay aware, stay safe!
appalation mountain
So how old is this story 🤔
Also carry a gun, this is why guns are for self defense...
Now that other couger is all by himself. All alone in the world
there are mountain lions/cougars all over Texas again. They site them just north of DFW constantly. lt went from none for decades to now regular siting's. My Dallas neighborhood by the power lines has coyotes in numbers as well.
cameraman always survives!
Bring back the cougar and wolves, they weren't eliminated because of safety or anything...
There out to HUNT, your LUCKY. THERE out there don't know what to say about it cause there out too EAT
Who do people insist on riding around areas where there's wildlife? It's their own fault.
This is an OLD story, but it's relevant because we had three old caucasian females get lost and stuck in the CR Gorge this weekend, and now we've got another such senior getting attacked by a cougar. So, who's the real problem here? The "victims" are never billed nor contribute a cent. The gorge is always dangerous, and one of them died w/o a cell phone so teams had to spend all that extra time and energy to find her body; and cougars have been impinged upon as much as all animals have by we humans. Maybe this shouldn't be a bike or hiking trail at all.
