Looks like a mama cougar just warning/trying to scare off a threat? Maybe she has cubs around. If she wanted to attack, she could have.
Saw this and obviously thought of what he did wrong but I have no way to say I wouldn't react similarly in such a terrifying scenario lol, but drop the damn phone!
She definitely didnt want to attack, she was escorting him away from her cubs that he approached. If he stopped recording and thrown a rock sooner she probably wouldn't have gone so far after him
Holding your phone isnt the posture you want if you're trying to scare off an angry mom

Closest to that I've been was the chance encounter with an aggressive street dog in an alleyway at night.
It wasn't that big of a dog and I just shouted and cussed at it as it went for the bite and it backed off.
Dunno if cussing would work on a puma.

She has a cub yeah, you can see the little thing in the full video of this.
Oh there it is then..I've seen titles like this cougar was stalking the hiker or whatever..and I'm thinking..the hiker stumbled into mama's territory and she wants him out.
i really enjoy hiking, only go about once a month or once every two months, but this is by far my biggest fear. i do think i was being stalked once. off trail down the side in dense thicket, i heard something rustling and snapping brances/twigs/etc.
Yeah I think he said he thought they were bobcats but trying to get a closer look is the dumbest thing he could have done lol. Guy is very lucky he didn't just get attacked out of nowhere before he even realized what he did
"please go away"
I jog in a local trail here in a suburb of Chicago and I shit myself when I see a harmless deer on the path. My bowels would implode if I came across a cougar.

Maybe because no film was involved and they were being pedantic?
Yeah, BIG mistake there. You can see the mannerisms when she got especially close with those open, short range lunges in his direction.
It was less "I'm hunting you." and more "You need to fuck off, then fuck off some more, sir."
That's like one of those basics, don't approach the baby of any wild animal.
I think the one thing he did that was smart was not running away.
I know she was just chasing him off, but I'd be afraid that running would trigger a chase response, as it does in many predators.

Because, for some unfathomable reason, we can't edit thread titles.
Let me film this for 5 mins instead of throwing any of these big ass rocks at it and maybe saving my life
Why did you originally write it like that or was it just a typo?
Don't mess with cougars. I saw one pacing on the trail when I was mountain biking in Orange County, CA years ago. It was waiting for someone to pass. I kept my distance and after it disappeared , I waited some more, then sprinted past on the trail. I was lucky. About a year later, a cyclist was killed by a cougar at the same spot. They eventually did hunt and kill that cougar, but they are not to be trifled with.

I have yet to come across a bear while walking in Alaska. Moose a few times though, and they're equally as terrifying.
Lol, dude regretted his decision immediately when he saw Mom come around the bend.
NOOOOOPE. I'd find it pretty hard to backpedal efficiently with about 5 lbs of feces in my pants.

A bit scary but I don't think the conger wanted to do anything other than to get him away from her cubs. These guys though we're definitely on the menu 😳
Yes this would cause me to lose control of my bowels.
I would have passed out on this one:
You know you're a bad motherfucker when even an elephant with two people on its back doesn't intimidate you.
Feels like throwing rocks wouldn't have been the right move here. Wouldn't he then be seen as even more of a danger toward the cubs by the mama?
I'm no expert, but I read that you aren't supposed to turn your back on them or reduce your posture to pick up a rock because they may instinctively choose to strike even if they didn't originally intend to.

I've always meant to asked what happened immediately after the end of this gif with the Tiger.
