Cougars love a good chase, so the last thing you want to do if you see one is run away. Though it may be challenging given your sudden anxiety, look the cougar straight in the eyes, appear larger, and never turn your back to a lion or run away. You'll be inviting them to chase you, and that's a very bad idea.
Surviving Close Encounters
Do not run away. This may trigger an attack.
Never turn your back to a lion.
Maintain constant eye contact.
Make loud noises, yell, wave your arms.
Make yourself look bigger with your clothing or other objects.
After the break, learn how to handle a mountain lion attack and actually survive. If you follow the advice above you shouldn't have to worry about being attacked, but it's always a good idea to be prepared.

Sick of life any way
Wait… how the hell am I supposed to get a selfie with these things if I follow these rules?!
It’s even more simple that that. All animals will telegraph before an attack. When receiving a cablegram from anything armed with tremendous strength, razor sharp claws and powerful jaws full of jagged teeth, it is time to practice the Three S’s. Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up.
Dan Heino You mean you go ANYWHERE without a handgun?!? I don’t.
Man up and go all Bigfoot on that$#%&!@*
i dont even think my house cat is harmless…..that$#%&!@*literally claws me in my sleep and it’s became a bit of a problem.
You must be like Bruce Willis level die hard if a mountain lion seems harmless. Im going hiking with you.
I’m going to tame it. Good big kitty.
“Mountain lions may seem harmless” said no one ever.
Bob Hostetter. Be careful
Mountain lions will stalk you and wait until you are vulnerable. They are no where near “harmless” .
Linda Lou….I have no doubts there are big cats around here ….places like this is where ya watch for them
Certain animals come with certain precautions. If you can’t figure it out then it’s time to thin the herd
They are beautiful but I would not one in my neighborhood!!
Not harmless…when I lived in Colorado, many young kids were killed hiking with their parents…they all ran ahead…so sad..
Why the hell would you put a break in an article? This isn’t tv. Seeing those words on that page annoyed me so much I’m unfollowing.
