the outstanding delivery matched by the quality info. TY~

Refreshingly good video! Engaging, informative and entertaining. Well done, indeed.

My only encounter with a mountain lion was many years ago I was having my morning coffee over looking a lake Castaic Calif. when I heard a growl to my right coming out of the canyon was a mountain lion looking at me about 15 ft away she started looking around to see if anyone else was around then she turned around and growled at the bush and out came this little cub just bouncing around having a good time they both went around my truck crossed the road and went down the next canyon I'll never forget the trust she had with me.

Engaging and informative video! Make more!! Really enjoyed your flow!

Thank you. She was clearly chasing him away! Protecting her young. Humans need to be more respectful and educate themselves about the wonderful creatures we ‘share’ this planet with.

Thanks for stating the truth and a reasonable explanation of both the animal and mans behavior. Thanks for taking care of our beautiful parks 🏞

Great video. We have Florida Panthers. My husband encountered one while servicing one of his customer’s pool. The home backed up to Oscar Scherer State Park in Florida. He heard a rustle in the bushes while getting his pool net and chemicals and turned and was face to face with the panther. The cat just casually strolled on by, walked across the driveway in front of the garage door and around to the back yard. This is where my husband was heading. Needless to say he knocked on the customers door and told the lady. Also, my smart thinking husband caught it all on his cell phone video. It was so awesome to see this. This was a small cat. We thought it might be very young. Me, on the other hand worried about him being cat food.

It does my heart good to know that Seth Rogan moonlights as a park ranger.

Awesome! Good stuff. Get this man his own show on The Nature Channel or something already.

This was a bluff charge. Mountain Lions attack by using stealth followed by a surprise attack, ambush.

My only suggestion would be, if you see a wild animal, even if it's just a bobcat, don't follow it. Back up, give them their space. Also #bringbackthepredators

Would be weird if this guy was attacked by a mountain lion during his explanation in this video.

Where is the video he's referring to?

Bro I love everything you said including the political bits!

This was a great video! You have a great energy, and are really engaging!! Keep up the great work!

The mountain lion I encountered didn't seem to scared. A grey wolf OR-59 was sited/filmed in Modoc County. Shortly after being seen it was shot and killed using a 22 cal. There's $7500 reward for info leading to an arrest of the shooter.

This guy rocks

The media don't always let the truth stand in the way of a good story.

Thanks for the video!! Well said your awesome!!! 😃

Good info and presenter.

I had a cougar encounter years ago. 25 feet apart and we were both surprised and slowly moved away from each other. I’ve have a dozen encounters with black bear and it was always the same…. I’m a scary human and they evade and escape. A cat still gives me pause. California law limits your pepper spray to 2.5 ounces and that’s not going to make a big cloud. Can i carry my 45 auto in California with it’s factory 7 round magazine? I should be allowed to feel safe?

agree.

well done

Dana white we kno that’s you bro the beard and hat ain’t fooling anyone

wait, you saw a mountain lion in a car ? was it driving ?

nice video

It does look like her attacks were feints just meant to scare him, but, that was scary. Maintain eye contact? Thanks.

You look like the officer from stranger things

I love Mountain Lions. Yes, we need to respect them, and be aware. Yes, I think traveling in a group is smart, so you don't end up Mountain Lion poop. But there is something so beautiful and majestic about them. I love the channel, I_AM_PUMA also. For me, it dispelled a lot of myths. People always told me that they wouldn't make a great pet, especially males, because they are too solitary. Well, anyone who follows the channel knows that Messi can't stand for Sasha to be away. The love between the man and his Puma is amazing. So I think most people just have a lot of misconceptions about them. I learned that they are more closely related to house cats, than the other big cats. So it makes sense that wild Pumas would be quite dangerous, because even picking up a feral cat is a recipe for disaster, but one raised from a kitten to be around humans, would be very calm and loving. Sasha is quite proud of a video of Messi, also. See, Sasha found a dog school that would train him. There many exercises including temperament in close proximity to strange people and other dogs. If at any time, a dog, or Messi, showed aggression towards another dog or the people, it had to wear a muzzle. The picture is of a bunch of the dogs and Messi the Puma, all sitting obediently in a row, and all the dogs had muzzles, but Messi didn't have one. This was the graduation picture. Now who would have guessed this would have happened? Also, he has a video of them at a large Vet complex, going from room to room where different tests were done. Messi clearly wasn't enjoying the experience, and would just sit still doing a low rumbling growl as he was poked and prodded, but he never showed any aggression. At the end, the main Vet in charge walked up to a table Messi was on, and Messi looked at him, put his ears back, bared his fangs and hissed, but then was like a little wimp when the Vet started handling him. And I think the vet gave him a shot. Likely not the first time, thus the hiss. But afterwords, the Vet told Sasha that Messi was a well socialized animal. But I do 100% understand that Pumas in the wild are NOT like Messi. They are dangerous and should be respected as such. But I would not want a world without them, or wolves, or bears. Now, I watched a great video about California Mountain Lions. Something they noted in the video was that there is a problem with male mountain lions not always being able to range far enough away from their mothers and siblings, due to human encroachment. Thus, too much in-breeding is happening. This made me wonder...wouldn't the immediate answer be sedation and transplanting males with other males from other areas? Even other states, to really help get some diversity in the genes? I hope they are doing this. Not doing something doesn't seem like a good plan. Human caused problems sometimes require human created solutions...more often than not.

Dude, I love everything you said. 🤣🥰😆

I want to see your HAIR...

Sorry, I've studied cougars my whole life and had an encounter. There's far too many other frontal attacks from cougars to say that cougar would not have killed that man. If he'd have even flinched, she'd have killed him. She was saving her babies. You are right, she wasn't stalking him for dinner, she was protecting her young! Even worse!!! She followed him as far as she did bc she was waiting for the right moment to pounce and take him out to protect her babies. This was a mamma cat, and she WAS going to kill that boy. But she was not sure about him bc he was bigger, hence the scare slides (which were NOT fake) to try and make him turn and run or flinch or fall so she could kill him to keep her babies safe. She was a mamma. She WAS going to kill him. Make no mistake about it. You're giving people bad advice in the fear that people will hate on cougars. She had EVERY right to protect her young. People aren't going to hate on cougars for that. But please tell them the truth.
