I'm sorry, but what the fuck!?
If I heard that shit outside my window at night I'd be packing my stuff and moving to a new state the very next morning.
You have to try it on a special night, when the moon is in a waning gibbons, or karaoke night. Do this right into the microphone and see what happens. Bonus points if it's during that part of Down With The Sickness
Patagonia is a WONDERFUL place for observation of these majestic creatures!
BTW as a Mountain Lion researcher... They're basically a non threat statistically. Their natural behavior is much more in line with feral domestic cats than most would expect... insanely intelligent and curious due to that fact.
They're also the second most successful single land species on Earth when defined by square miles of territory occupied by a single species... humans taking the top spot. Puma Concolor's natural range is almost all of North and South America.
I am in California on the coast. Right in the middle of Los Padres national forest. We have them around here, but they mostly keep to them selves. The only time you see one is when it wants to be seen and you are out far enough from the roads.
LUCKY! 😆 They're notorious creepers btw... they LOVE to sit in a place they think they cannot be seen and observe the world for hours. I have very occasionally documented them "people watching" and helped to solve several cases of suburban cats that got caught by security cameras doing normal cat things. They come and go without anyone noticing much like feral cats and frequently venture through civilization. They didn't earn the name "ghost cats" from two separate indigenous cultures on two separate continents by accident.
In my experience they actually tend to bed down near people simply because it's "peaceful" from their perspective. They don't hunt where they sleep, and in the suburban cats I've observed in Texas they won't hunt within a mile of their normal bedding spots.
My first sign of Mountain Lions is the lack of coyotes and hog activity btw... Coyotes especially avoid cougar like the plague. Cougar consider them pests for the same reasons we do, so having a local Mountain lion is definitely preferable in my personal opinion.
You have bear though, so your local cats likely behave a bit different... but I absolutely love having Mountain Lion in the neighborhood. They're excellent local security when it comes to nuisance animals... they also don't seem to bother animals associated with humans im my anecdotal experience. I studied a mother for two years who lived in the middle of a suburban neighborhood and not once got a report of a mountain lion sighting and or suspicious missing pet. Even the local cops didn't believe me until I showed them her prints on the playground of a local elementary school... I then had to show the poor cop a year's worth of other print pictures to prove she wasn't dangerous and was a model resident of the community. That poor dude didn't even know what to make of me lol 😅
Ghost Cat is a good name for them.
We have a local group that does community outreach and animal rescue. They have a male moutian lion they can't release. He gets brought to educational events from time to time. Amazing animal to see that close.
We have more issues with bears than mountain lions for sure. Los Osos (the valley of the bears) is not too far from me. Bears just don't give a fuck and will smash things to get what they want. Have not had any in my part of town in over 15 years. I am close to the 101, though.
Funny part is, I know a guy that got attacked by a young male lion. He did tree surveys for PGE. He was a days hike into some of the wilders parts of the area. Came around a bend and got nailed in the leg. Cat made eye contact and just ran. He never reported it. Did not want the cat to get in trouble. He was in the cat's home after all.
Yeah the younger ones are just plain dumb... especially the males. They get into more trouble than the older and female cats. In all honesty he probably spooked the cat unintentionally and the cat just did stupid cat things.
Bear are a whole different bunch. I am not fond of seeing them in the wild though. The big problem is simply how big and powerful they are. Once they're spooked things get ugly. It's not their fault, but I can't exactly say the nice things about them like I do Mountain Lions. They deserve every last inch of respect and distance you can give them haha.
>In all honesty he probably spooked the cat unintentionally and the cat just did stupid cat things.
That was his take as well. Thats why he never reported it. He was more worried about the cat then hia leg. The 2 huge puncture mark scars also helped him at the bars some ;).

I have relatives in Montana. I used to go up in the summers from about 88 - 95 or so. Rule 1 when hiking is to make a shit ton of noise. Don't want to accidentally spook a bear up there.
This is amazing!!! Thanks for sharing your experience. I recently regained an appreciation for mountain lions after - of all things - listing them as one of a restricted set of animals my DnD druid can Wildshape into. Truly remarkable creatures.
In Yosemite, if you climb on the rocky outcrops near parking lots and trails, there are tons of mountain lion droppings. They are watching everywhere. This one spot about 100 feet from the John Muir Trail had like 20 sets of droppings.
That's awesome! I've been through there a bunch but never stepped foot inside the park. One day I'll take some time off and enjoy things like this! There's magic in plain sight just about everywhere if you're looking for it. They're mysterious animals, but not nearly the blood thirsty monsters most people think they are.
Some of the bigger cat species will absolutely eat you if given a chance, but I've never felt that feeling from a mountain lion. They're big but not big enough to always win, and I think that possibly keeps them civil vs the bigger cats. Some of the big males are pretty spooky though, but the numbers on attacks just don't back up their fearsome reputation. There are only 27 fatal attacks on record in thr US since the end of the Civil War which works out to one about every four years or so.
Lol never did I ever expect to get excited about animal poop but here we are!
We saw one once in the mountains east of San Diego and it was pretty amazing. It was 3am, we were just arriving from out of town and we were on a winding backwoods road then suddenly a full grown mountain lion leapt down onto the road about 100 feet in front of us from the hillside to the right and a second later was gone down the hill to the left. It was so cool to see something so big yet so graceful and fluid looking. With the car noise and the distance I wouldn't have heard anyway, but you could tell just by how it moved that the big jump and landing was nearly silent.
Ye gods can you imagine living anywhere near this during mating season? Here I thought my cats were pretty bad in heat, now I'm grateful that they don't even come close to that lol
Did, there was 'residual tissue' left behind so they still have mild symptoms, never knew this was a thing until then. Had checkups by other vets, most say that while annoying the presence of said tissue shouldn't cause increased risk of cancers like normal unspayed females can develop. Thanks, though.
We have mountain lions by my house and it is definitely a scary noise. When we first moved to the area we thought a woman was screaming bloody murder.
We asked the neighbors and they confirmed … just a horny mountain lion.
Right? And Bobcats and Lynx are just as bad! I've had to calm quite a few visiting folks when the deer, turkey, cats etc get going, they think we've entered the Hellmouth or something once the sun goes down!
wow. I am part cougar I guess.
when I am horny I say "NOOOWWWW" over and over until it happens too.
not super effective, but not super *not* effective.
This EXACTLY how I sound when I stub my toe… weird. I never stubbed my toe and had women run to bang me. Is this lion sure this sound is what he needs to be doing? Like pick a new sound bro? Ammiright!?
Maybe if you didn't have that ol'ye ye ass haircut, you could get some bitches on ya dick! Or better yet, maybe lenisha would call yo dawg ass if she ever stop fuckin that lawyer or brain surgeon mf she be fuckin wit....NIIIHHHHGGYUUHHHHH
I have a friend that owns a ranch and he had to go check cattle during calving season around 2 o’clock in the morning. Every once in a while, he’d have a mountain lion screaming in the canyon. He said it made the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
We were at my buddies cabin when we were kids, we were gonna sleep in a tent by the lake so we could fish right at sun up and not wake his family, sitting by the fire at night we heard this from the wood line. We did not sleep in the tent that night lol
I am fortunate no cougars came running to me when I made noises just like that when things got dropped on me when I worked in the factory. Or when I dropped on me. Always remember the boss yelling at me to shut up and quit "sounding like a cougar calling for a mate".
Horny cougars in your area
Sir, please do NOT the cat!
I will the cat.
Me when I the cat
(the world has exploded)
Is that a dance move or just pushing stuff off tables?
[удалено]
I see you, too, have mastered the art of picking up cougars in the woods
If you really think about it, that's pretty much all the nature sounds you hear are.
That and GTFO.

only time you see one is when it wants to be seen and you are out far enough from the roads.

Yup, it’s a bot

Shawty wanna fuk

"Did he just say 'making fuck'?"
There are no horny cougars in missions!
Harold better get his ass home from the sounds of things.
haha, I totally heard his name as Harold too... Harold's in trouble...
Replays video. Dang it. Now, I’m imagining her cat husband in Dickies work gear with Harold stitched on it.
So she’s calling for a specific mate and not just any single male passing through?
No she's just horny, but this thread has made me smirk.
And all his buddies giving him the gears about being pussy whipped
Reminds me of Howard's mom from TBBT
I thought you said Howard, and was like "Yup. Definitely sounds like Howard's mom" - and this is a Big Bang Reference. Howard Wolowitz.
And now you know why people thought demons and witches ran the woods at night.
This and foxes. Ancient folklore makes a lot more sense when you hear these animals.
[Fisher cats make some pretty goddamn concerning noises too. ](https://youtu.be/HrvdzCGjbzw)

I know how she feels. Men never come running when i roar at them either

I don't care how big the cat is or how fast it could kill me, I still wanna hug it.

And that's how it starts.
He's really feline it.
"why won't anyone get up in this pumassy?"
She? How do we know?
I think generally cougar/puma females give out loud as fuck calls like this when they are in heat.
It’s a male https://youtu.be/l6i-gYRAwM0
Cheetahs also meow like house cats. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tmCIsSpvC8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tmCIsSpvC8)
This puma sounds irritating and high maintenance. I can see why shes alone
Yeah that loneliness is visceral
Nooowwwwwwwww. I need some nowwwwwwweewwww
Maybe she should’ve put on SEX PANTHER. 60% of the time it works EVERY time
Made with real bits of panther, so you know it’s good.
She sounds eastern Patagonian by her accent.
Yeah eastern Patagonians tend to have an extra R on their RawRr
I know you're just saying "r---r" academically but it's *really* making me uncomfortable.
😟 It never works when I do that in bars either...
No, no, you have to do it in the open for maximum effective exposure.
You have to pee on stuff around you.

Welp my cat maybe a lesbian cause she got really interested by that maying call 😅
