THANK YOU! - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
I was jogging one day in east Texas and came face to face with a cougar at about 30 feet away. It stopped and stared at me. I stopped and stared at it. It turned away and walked off. One of my greatest memories ever. I saw a real life cougar in the wild! I told my friends at work and they all asked me why I didn't shoot it. I just said, "because it didn't shoot at me!" That's what is so sad about our world. Everyone just wants a trophy to measure their manhood.
Maybe your friends mean why you didn't shoot a photo of the beauty ;)
chris smith wow thank you for not hurting it!
I'm glad you didn't kill it💙
chris smith BTW do u always carry a gun with u dear? ppl are nuts!
Sami Motaghedi aw me too
I love all the cats but there is just something about cougars, they're so cool.
Ric Pel she look like my cat Deacuy
@Sims 3 Forever Dude yep, apparently they are cowards since they like to attack from behind and knock their prey to the ground....that's actually the scary thing about them.
@@rwatson2609 Even the biggest cat do that
And they're American like me. So I love them the most
All cats are great cats
Samuel Henson I love this comment
Cody Nunez yes
Tony the Tiger approves. They're great!
Felidaes are beautifully cunning creatures.
all cats are superior
such a beautiful Cat face.. love cougars
they're so pretty!
Avery ï
Would love to see one in the wild..Awesome
@@jamesgoldner2804 I would to as long as they dont attack
They are!!! Just so beautiful!😍😍🥰
Their faces are hauntingly beautiful.
So eerie how they are always watching you when you are in their habitat but you'll never see one. Ive been walking back to my truck after a hike only to find FRESH cougar tracks right across mine.
That's why I stopped fishing solo in some of the those backwoods rivers up in OR. Too many big kitties.
Let my people go!
BIG PUMA
Yes listen to BIG PUMA lol
John Smith yes Amen
it's not like they're restrained!
This was so interesting. Mountain Lions are my favorite. I had no idea they were so housecat-like in their vocalizations. Such gorgeous animals. Although the stare at 2:20 was absolutely chilling!
I was hunting a deer one time and was actually being "stalked" by a cougar. The stare is chilling in this video, but words cannot describe the feeling you get when an actual cougar is wanting you for its main course. I'll never forget that day. Very beautiful animal.
The best thing that we can do to help wild animals like these is to give them a voice, please visit our website and click on the get involved tab to find your state reps so you can contact them and let them know how you feel.
Thank you.
Big Cat Rescue Then do u know the answer to Splotch the Cats question? we're dying to know!!!
My favorite animal
beautiful cat
This makes me sad... they're my favorite big cats :'( i wish ppl would stop destroying their habitat and killing them..
Tubbs The big cat Funny thing is, the hunting pays for the preservation of their habitat. Look up the Pittman-Robertson Act.
It's not only people unfortunately. We have been working to preserve and restore the Grey Wolf population across the country as they were once endangered. Conservationists have succeeded in restoring numbers in some areas, but now the Mountain Lions who were used to reduced Grey Wolf numbers are now struggling with the sudden increase in competition for food.
AlphaWolf098 So hunters won't donate to preservation unless they can hunt them??
Cougar playing scoccor
You say it tubbs
What a gorgeous animals are the pumas 💕❤️
So cute! @ 2:30
Mountain lions are great. They deserve national protection!
How can something so Beautiful exist..
At this rate they won't exist.
Angela Bird They're actually on the rise, especially in California.
Stephen Geden Please make some documentaries :) x
So agree with you. Whenever I look at a cougar or any cat I always wonder why the creator invented something so beautiful and then decided to create us lot.
***** so we can be aware of them? :)
what really exists if there is no consciousness to be aware of it?
THANK YOU for watching and commenting; we really appreciate it. If you have a Facebook account you can actually use the "Share' feature below the video to share it on your Facebook wall.
I was in North Ontario Canada and one came out onto the hiking trail. My breath hitched in my throat and my heart beat fast. But I couldn't stop staring. My friend told me to run or be loud but I shushed her I continued to watch for three full minutes. Then the cougar turned around and went back into the woods. My friend and I were both struck with a sense of calm. We'd keep that memory of the cougar forever. That was three years ago and even now I find myself drawing cougars in my sketchbook
They really are amazing.
My favorite of the big cats. But then, I love them all.
I live in Minnesota and we get a small number of transient cougars from the western Dakotas but no breeding population evidence:( It is an absolute disgrace and injustice that cougars are allowed to be killed and even hunted!!
Kristythepistol that's so mean!
I might start going wolf hunting but I dont live killing cats
Lesser cat by name but no less beautiful and amazing. Love their vocalisations! 😻
Beautiful to watch these Cougars...very interesting information too....
I saw one cougar/puma in Torres del Paine, Chile, when she was eating a guanaco that she chased just a few minutes berofe. A guanaco! A close familiar of the llamas, but I think bigger. Just imagine that. These animals are just fantastic. I think the puma is my favorite wild cat. Love them.
when i was very young we had a cat named cougar, he was a big brown tabby.
Cougars are beautiful great creatures but they terrify me more than any other big cat. I think it's the noise they make
I love cougars They are like the coolest cats ever
Great video. I loved the 'hunting acting', you guys are adorable :)
In Argentina we call them "pumas". In fact our national rugby team is called "Los Pumas", hoping the players will be as fierce and agile as these beautiful cats.
maqnaify ojalá sus estancieros no masacraran pumas :( lo mismo que en Chile, matan para que no les maten a las ovejas. Una pena.
White Guy 45 thank u
White Guy 45 i hate hunters
It melts my heart when they purr :')

Such a magnificent cat the singing cat sounds like she is talking to you. If we could just STOP!!!!!!!! Them being killed. Preserve their habitat. We could have a very significant chance at saving them. I guess it's the same procedure for saving all the native cat species. The world would be a sad place without them!♡♡♡♡
@vickiormindyb The cougar kittens are Aries, Artemis and Orion they were rescued after their mum was shot and killed by a hunter, we raised them and provided them with a home for the rest of their lives :)
I would like to invite each of you to visit us on Facebook. We post updates and photos of the cats there every day. We will be posting a new Christmas video of the cats here on UA-cam in a few days.
cats like baby talk.
Dennis Morris thanks!
They really do
@vaderhausen Yes, it's still legal, you can write to your state representatives and voice your opinion on the matter, please visit CatLaws*com for contact info :)
Oh i didn't know much about couger, but now is also become one of my favorite. They look very cute and the baby cougers is super cutie.:)
Almost as cute as you Cutie pie...but they are soo cute too.
We have over 360 videos here on our channel. Surf through them to find more videos featuring the cougars/Mountain lions.
Cougars have a uniqueness for the big body but little head. I love them.
These cats are just gorgeous.
3:02 Awww they are soooo cute! But dangerous! XD
1:43 bro the cougar looked EXACTLY like a lioness there, kinda seems like that could be a cougar and jaguar hybrid
They’re like domestic cats! Ooooooooooooooh so cute!
especially the kittens
I live in south east BC Canada. I live in the middle of cougar country. Iv only ever spotted them once. I was in my truck on a logging road, and there were two big ones and two kittens walking across the road. They were not scared of me at all. Beautiful animals
Bigger, heavier, longer, faster, more agile & powerful than a Leopard yet still a cute KITTY in my eyes. I wish I could cuddle them.
Beautiful, healthy cats. My husband was lucky enough to see a free wild one (just for a second and from a distance) while ice fishing.
@Zblj1987 Thanks for watching! We currently have 11 cougars at the sanctuary :)
At one time Mountain Lions were hunted uncontrolled almost to the point of extinction. In 1965 the Colorado Parks and Wildlife declared them a Game Animal that set limits on how many could be harvested in different areas of the state, discouraging taking females. Since then healthy populations of Mountain Lions have been restored to Colorado. There are purposes for the way they are managed, and monitored to make sure that humans and Mountain Lions are less likely to have a negative encounter (Mountain Lion attacks). Even then, these rare incidences still occur including the occasional death. If not properly managed there most likely would be an increase in negative encounters between humans and big cats.
Hermosos PUMAS!!!!
One of my favorites ,i love their eyes
In the past two years there have been many cougar sitings in Thunder Bay, Ontario where I live, I can not wait to see one myself!!
A wonderful video, I really like how the information is presented. It's informative, contains lots of data but is not overloaded and all easy to understand. I'd definitely choose this video to show to any person who didn't know anything about big cats, and even though I am their enthusiast myself, I still learned a lot too. You guys do a great job to help these animals.
They are SOOO PRETTY.
Beautiful cubs and Reise! 💞
I was hiking the Pacific Crest Trail near Lake Moreno and i saw a cougar on a shelf about 100 feet high .. he just got up and walked off slowly (not afraid of me) I hiked 5 mile legs on weekends and covered the border to Warner Springs by skilled the leg from Mt. Laguinato Scissors (the bigger "threat" (in my opinion) was rattle snakes .. there are 5 kinds of them on the PCT and all are deadly Mojave rattlesnake, western diamondback, side winder. Southern Pacific rattlesnake, Southwestern speckled rattlesnake, Red diamond rattlesnake, Pacific Rattlesnake... it is a desert area
@EratoTiaTuatha Thanks for the compliments and thanks for watching! :)
I love cougars! I like how they purr. ^_^
Cougars are so beautiful and their kittens are adorable! I really enjoy the big cat series! Thanks so much for posting. This is so interesting!
Beautiful
They're spread wider than this says. I live in southern IL and I've seen them here. I drove up on one early one morning while delivering newspapers. Got to about 10 feet away, it was staring at me, and I was so fascinated by it that I forgot that I had my car's windows down. Fortunately, it just decided to wander off instead of get closer.
This is an old video.
They are very beautiful. One of my cats look like that: big body, big tail, but small head with big nose! Amazing!
My eight year old asked what a Cougar was, I googled and found your video. Well presented and a pleasure to watch, thanks for teaching us about the beautiful cat.
I really enjoyed the format of the youngsters helping to make this video!! Very nice! Very informative and well done. God bless all the kitties, and all our precious youth also.
cougars are my favorite animals and I'm really happy you do a video about them
They also live in Pensilvania.
Yeah,their map is way off,all Appalachian mountain states.We have em in North Carolina too.
Cougars are my favorite big cat for sure! Only seen 3 in the wild here in Colorado
Who could ever kill such an amazing animal? Why would you do that? The only reason to kill one is if it threatens your life. You have every right to use lethal force to defend yourself against an animal, but killing them just for fun or for their pelts? That's disgusting and anyone who does it should immediately be tried in a court of law and put in jail. Killing something so magnificent should be a major crime.
The mindset of someone who kills these creatures interests me. What actually goes on in the head of someone who kills such awe inspiring creatures?
Thats why we have hunting seasons, so we don't get them extinct. Off season allows them to reproduce and recover from the losses of their population. And when hunting season comes, you can hunt them.
Fallout 420blazeit Why do certain people feel a need to hunt them though, they're not a pest. Wild animals were here much earlier than we were and inhabited the earth before us, it is not acceptable to even hunt any of these animals for any reason other than when an individual is faced with immediate danger.
Not really. Some animals scavenge. Others only eat plants. But the ones that do hunt typically do it to eat -- that's it. Of course, there will sometimes be "competition killings" between predators who share the same habitat, but that's a little different. The point is, why would you go out of your way to kill these animals in the first place? Do you live off of cougar, lion, tiger, etc. meat? Are you in direct competition with them for food and resources? Probably not. From a non-hunter's perspective, it just seems like a bunch of callous individuals who need to prove how tough/superior/macho they are at the expense of innocent animal lives (the conservation argument is not very good, either). And what's worse is that often they go for the most beautiful, powerful, and majestic animals--as if killing them with weapons they obviously don't stand a chance against makes you some type of warrior. It just seems like a senseless waste of life, especially considering that many of these big cats and hunted animals are seeing their homes destroyed by human encroachment. They may not be around for that much longer, so we should do our best to protect and preserve them while they're still here.
Yeah but animals hunt to survive, trophy hunters are just hunting to kill something.
animals hunt to eat not to hang our heads on a wall like those men with small genitalia trying to compensate do!
Beautiful!!!
very cool and informative documentary.
Good job with the video!! I pray that one day I could see this on television!! Your organization is very informative.
My Left Ear really enjoyed all that extra volume. Please utilize sound editing in the future.
Great video to encourage other children to learn about this species and with that knowledge contribute to preserving it in the wild. Thank you for posting it.
It was some big city because that's what fascinated me. So near to a big city this young woman, almost a girl, got attacked. It was some hiking route, I think. Strange they can be found so close to cities.
3:03 OMG the kittens have spots!!! Cute
@evanescencedragon Well spotted! That was Tobi a female cougars, she's 19 years old and is one of our cats we supplement with glucosamine because of her stiff joints :)
Some men are so so cruel, chasing this cougar with dogs, breaks my heart.
This is such a Beautiful Animal.
There are so many cute ladies who work and volunteer at BCR.
Such exquisite animals. They need to be protected!
The volunteers were adorable in this video. Very informative! :)
I agree with Erato -- a wonderful video, very informative for any who seek to know. The leopard & especially the Florida panther have always been my most beloved of the big cats. Thank you for doing everything you do to protect them & get the word out on their behalf. We must change the laws to truly save them.
I grew up outside of Gallup, New Mexico where there are lots of cougars roaming around in the wild and I've seen them out and about in the hogback around the farms. They're very peaceful when you keep your space but its really cool to see them in the wild.
COUGARS ARE THE CUTEST!!
They're beautiful...!
Keep up the excellent work!
Oh, those eyes!
Thank you very much for this enjoyable video. .My heart goes out to all of you and the Beautiful. Cougars.they need all the help they can get..thanks again🌋
Thank you for watching!
@IWUSkittles THANKS!
So beautiful animals WOW so cool....... 😘
Beautiful animals !
_aww Mountain Lions really do look just like really big house cats_
In Far Cry 5, you can have Peaches, a pet Cougar & boy I love petting her. She's so cute.
When females are spayed it stops much of the stress in captivity.
@crapwad17 I don't believe so, we don't have any cheetahs at BCR :) Thanks for watching!
lol, they are cute and ferocious at the same time
i like how you added more then just one person talking
They are noble animals. I was stalked by one once while climbing in the Black canyon of Gunnison. I saw the cat four times over several hours and it was closer each time. I have to admit it got me nervous.
Great video. What a beautiful animal
This is a wonderful educational film dedicated to the Puma. Thank you all so much. Very informative, with superb film footage!
