Mountain lions are one of the most feared predators in the Americas, and while much of this fear is due to misunderstanding, they are certainly dangerous enough to garner a significant amount of respect.
Luckily, the chance of you running into one anywhere in the wilderness is very slim, as they are highly reclusive creatures that are prone to fear humans and only in rare circumstances will they ever attack a human, least of all a full-sized adult.
While attacks are very rare, they do happen, and across the board, these attacks could have been prevented by following some simple rules that apply to most predatory animals.
To learn more about these rules and what to do should you ever encounter a mountain lion, check out the helpful list on the next page.

Id knife fight a cougar, sure… But the stinging of those cougar wounds has GOT to suck.
I ran into one last summer out by Diablo lake, it was dark, I had just finished peeing in a bottle since I had heard noises and assumed large animals were around. As I washed my hands I heard something walking by the edge of the water and then saw two eyes staring at me suddenly stop moving when I made I contact. I grabbed my gun and aimed it then yelled “I see you cougar!” I yelled and yelled but no other campers replied. So I grabbed a stick and started beating the side of the fire grate and yelling at the top of my lungs. The eyes slowly walked back into the dark. I stood there terrified for what felt like an eternity then gun cocked loaded and aimed I gathered what I could grab and walked quickly but cautiously to my car where I spent the rest of the night trying to calm down
So here kitty kitty is a bad idea?
I want to hug him and scratch behind his ears
I remember that one in Miami
