Puma follows a hiker (kunkyle)

In the video - a previous case in which a cougar chased a hiker

What is the right thing to do if you come across an open-air cougar?

Do not run away, it turns out.

The National Parks Service in the United States advises hikers to roar at the impending threat - which apparently recently saved a man who found himself in a life-and-death situation in front of a nervous mountain cougar.



In a short video shot on January 8 in Los Angeles and posted online by an anonymous hiker, the guy is seen walking in the mountains towards a large lake, when he suddenly turns around and notices a cougar that is only three meters away from him. The heat and the sandy landscape, but luckily the



hiker

was alert enough to notice it in time.

Her very quickly she returns to the thicket and disappears from sight.

How dangerous is it?

The cougar that chased the hiker is probably the smallest puppy from the adult mountain cougar that can reach a height of up to 90 cm and a speed of 80 km / h. The traveler shared the video online and wrote: "Puma was ambushing me. I ran and scared her away with a roar at the last minute."



The video garnered more than hundreds of thousands of views and hundreds of comments from appalled viewers. Many praised his actions, when one wrote: "This is actually exactly what you should have done. Shout in the most threatening way possible. If you run, you are just creating for them a slight chase." Another added: "You're lucky, buddy. If you hadn't turned around when you turned around he would have been on your neck already. Nice response." Another wrote: "It's a young cat. An adult male would have killed it. It's just a young and inexperienced cat."



The mountain cougar (also called "American lion", "Mountain lion", "Cougar" and more), is a native of America and has been in contact with humans more and more in recent years with their population rising and our intrusion into their territory.

In 1920, it was estimated that there were only 600 mountain cougars.

In 1990 the mountain cougar became a "specially protected mammal", meaning it is illegal to kill or injure them.

Currently, it is estimated that between 4,000 and 6,000 cougars live in the country.

In California between 1986 and today, there have been 12 cases of cougar attacks on humans, claiming the lives of three people.



Cougars can attack humans if they feel pushed into a corner, or if a person decides to run away while encountering, thus stimulating their instinct to chase him.

Making eye contact with the animal, making a loud noise or returning to war can often frighten them.
