The powerful puma patrols the canyon in the Angeles National Forest on December 7, 2022.
(turn on the sound)

Believe it or not, this was most likely a message for the other male lion, who was in this very spot, five hours earlier, and then returned only twenty minutes after this. Twenty minutes! More to come later. Stay tuned.

    I love how she looks right into the camera like “Hey, you getting this shot? This is for you!”
  • Heard this once while walking in deep woods. A huge whitetail buck then went past us at full throttle, in the opposite direction, snorting like a locomotive. We stood in place for about 5 minutes trying to settle ourselves. A once in a lifetime experience for us.
  • 0:30 -- Puma : "Are you getting this on film, Bob? Because I am NOT doing this again just because you forgot to hit 'record'!"

    In the summer of 2001, my late wife and I were hiking in deep woods the mountains in Alberta when we heard this sound ahead of us. It was well out of sight, but not that far away either. We knew instantly there was only one animal it could have been. That was scary. We slowly turned back toward the trailhead, looking frequently over our shoulder.

    Things that make you say... "pack up the tent, camping trip is over".

    To anyone thinking of camping in the wilderness, it honestly pays dividends to watch videos like this one. Whenever it's after dark and you and your squad are gathered around the fire and you hear some shit like this out in the trees, you get to be the gigachad who goes, "It's a mountain lion. Sounds like it's trying to communicate. We stay close to the campsite and keep this fire going, we'll be fine."
  • What a glorious close-up, Robert. These big cats aren't having the easiest time of it here in southern California; it's awesome to see such a healthy one. Thank you. 🐾💫
  • The cat is going through a mental list of things to do today and 'scream randomly' is the next on the list. It's kind of like my day.

    My son was asleep in the tent with me as we were camping out down by the river in our home town, around 12 midnight, a pack of dogs from a distance were barking loudly, Then we, the dogs and I, heard this wonderful big Cat screaming,,not far from us,,And just like magic, the dogs shut up and everything went totally silent,,❤ i love cats,,

    There is a very popular 1400 acre State Park that people will take their dogs to on the edge of Portland, Oregon. I go there every Sunday morning. I have heard this sound numerous times while we were walking our dogs there and thought it was some some kind of bird. Now I know better and will be keeping a much closer look around my surroundings if I hear it again.

    250 pounds of pure spring loaded muscle I had my encounter in 2001 above lake Castaic on my mountain bike he was crossing the road I stopped it stopped and we just stared at each other for about 2 minutes I was shaking but it moved up the hill thru the brush and I hauled ass back to my truck I never went back alone or unarmed again I have never felt so small and helpless mutch Respect to big cats now !
  • @bhbluebird
    The musculature looks crazy powerful relative to the overall body size.
  • @elcrypto3623
    I think thats the mating call...heard it and then seen a cougar 10 min later then heard it again up the hill. It was a great experience.

    My aunt heard one of these at night and thought it was a woman screaming. It shook her so much she doesn't even like to talk about it 😂
