>A total of 125 attacks, 27 of which fatal,[1] have been documented in North America in the past 100 years. Fatal cougar attacks are extremely rare and occur much less frequently than fatal snake bites, fatal lightning strikes, or fatal bee stings.

Lol. Why do we have to keep larping that nature is dangerous?

13% of wildlife commits 50% of all attacks. The real question is, how likely it is to attack you if run into one. Just because encounters are rare, doesn't mean they're not dangerous.

Are encounters really that rare? A hidden mountain lion seeing a human pass would count as an encounter.

An encounter implies both parties are aware and notice each other.

Mountain lions don't kill with their teeth. They'll try to get you on your back and gore you with their claws in your stomach/thighs. Kill you by eternal bleeding. Also like this post >>1534170
they like to hang out in trees and frequently drag their victims up them and into hard to reach areas.
1. fuck cats
2. bring a gun, not like it'll matter if he gets the jump on you
3. nuck figgers

If it's a bear just punch it in the face before he eats you.

There was literally a fatal attack like 20min from where I live here in Washington last summer, it's a serious problem anon. What's crazy is the two guys who got attacked led weren't even backpacking or hiking, literally riding on a bike trail. A bear would never do that but a mountain lion will.

thats sad. idiots in germany are forcing the wolf back into our woods. our forests are way too small for fricking wolf packs. in germany, farmers are already complaining about dead sheep. the wolves don't eat them. they just kill.

No it doesnt. It just implies that the smarter of the two realized it, which is of course the human. That was a very anthropocentric observation, anon

Mountain lions are very rarely seen by people. Attacks are even rarer. They just make the news when they happen (literally several dozen in the continent over the course of a century IIRC) because they are unusual and are sometimes just ambushes.

It's 5-6 a day are declared missing and aren't found for at least a year. That's a tiny, tiny fraction of missing-persons cases.
