Mountain Lion Kills Elk
Mountain lions are mostly ambush hunters, charging at prey to knock it off balance. They have exceptional vision and usually locate prey by watching it move. These cats can be found out and about at any time of day or night, but they are most active at dusk and dawn. The elk in this video is attacked by a large mountain lion, but it manages to escape and survive the attack. The man recording the video says he still sees the elk with an antler growing straight out of his head. The elk at the forefront of the frame, in this video sounds the alarm after he spots a cougar running towards the herd. All the animals run off in different directions to save their lives, but it appears that the feline manages to grab an elk calf during the chaos. Watch as a cougar sneaks up on an elk calf and kills it. Later, a man discovered the calf's carcass just fifteen feet downhill from where the cougar had caught it. You can see the cougar in slow motion chasing the elk in the background. Watch as a cougar is seen attacking and killing an elk with a sudden burst of speed and strength, smacking the elk, and quickly dispatching it.
You can hear the noise it makes when the cougar collides into the elk. Pumas hunt over a large area, and it can take a week for one to circle its home range. Depending on where they live, they eat a variety of prey, including deer, pigs, capybaras, raccoons, armadillos, hares, and squirrels. Larger cats can take down prey as large as an elk or a moose. However, hunting large prey is dangerous, and many pumas suffer life-threatening injuries because of a hunt, particularly from a prey's sharp horns, antlers, or hooves. Pumas frequently bury a portion of their kill to save it for a later meal, concealing it with leaves, grass, dirt, or even snow, depending on the habitat and time of year. Some people heading home during a night drive saw a big buck and couldn’t figure out what on earth it was doing. Finally, they just stopped to look, because it kept darting out onto the road and going off onto the bank. So, they just slowed down and it didn’t take them long to realize a mountain lion was behind the attack.
Mountain Lion Vs Deer
In this archival footage, you can see some vintage footage of a rare encounter between a mountain lion and a mule deer. The two animals study one another, as the cat tries to figure out the best way of taking down the deer and the deer is thinking “escape”, but where? The cat launches the attack, and the mule deer jumps and kicks as hard as it can, so it’s not an easy huntfor the big cat. When a mountain lion ambushes a deer in this video, the hunt does not go as planned. The feline can stop the deer in mid-air, but its grip on the animal isn’t strong enough to keep it from escaping. Apparently, the big cat managed to snatch and kill a fawn later that day. This mountain lion was caught attacking a deer on a residential front porch. According to the owner of the house, the deer had wandered onto the porch to eat some roses before being dragged away by the mountain lion.
What looks like a beautiful and calm pond turns into a battlefield when a mountain lion comes rushing through the frame as it tries to kill a deer. The deer tries to escape, but it’s easier said than done. After taking down an extremely large deer, a mountain lion does everything it can to finish the deer off, but the light emanating from the man filming the scuffle spooks the big cat and you can see how he loses his focus on the deer and watches the man filming, giving the deer enough time to escape. On the way back home from a hike, a man heard a big noise to find a huge cat struggling with a male deer by biting the deer’s neck on the ground. He wasn't sure what animal it was, but we can tell you it was a cougar, and you probably already know. Once again, the big cat was spooked by the man and ran off, abandoning the deer while it was still alive.

You really need to learn your animals and... FYI... One on one, a wolf does not stand much of a chance against a cougar. The cougar is pound for pound stronger, usually bigger, almost always faster and is designed to take down prey much larger than itself all by itself. Despite their superiority over wolves, cougars tend not to attack lone wolves due to a lone wolf's ability to turn into a pack very quickly. And against a pack of wolves, it's the cougar that does not stand much of a chance. However, wolf packs tend to not attack cougars, even though the wolves will most likely win, because the cougar can severely injure or kill one or more wolves in the attack. In short, you have two apex predators that roam the same territory, but give each other a wide berth. A "you do you and I'll do me" type of thing. But do learn your animals and how to pronounce their names. It's better to have less content (shorter videos) and be accurate, than to babble on and on with misinformation. In fact, a video can be reported for misinformation (did you know that?). Let's not go that route.
You showed a few pictures of coatis while talking about wolverines. Very different animals. Also, snow leopards may be the best jumpers of all the cats, as they live in the Himalayas and hunt chamois on jagged mountain slopes.

Conservation efforts play a crucial role in preserving the habitats and populations of endangered animals, ensuring their continued survival.
Too many glaring informational errors and wrong identifications of particular animals for a passing mark from this naturalist.

I have a European mount of an elk with full rack, except for a broken antler. His skull at the antler was obviously broken when it was young and healed that way. the right antler on my trophy has a very large beam, two very small points and a long eye guard. the Left side is a normal 5 point.
2:07 Those are not armadillos.

good video animals fight
I wouldn't say the badger is fat as much as wide -- as with everything in nature, form follows function, and their flat wide bodies allow them to stay really close to the ground making for great camouflage.
One of the animals shown with the Wolverine’s was a coaty mundie
their Small body but they have courage honey dodgers and wolverine brave animals love them because they don't back up or scared from anything not even the king of the jungle
Just wondering on which continent we can find the country of "Cheelay?" Also, it would be good to use only 1 descriptive i.e. mountain lion, puma or cougar and not change them every 5 minutes.
I encountered a cougar while visiting Montana, I had to chew my arm off in the morning to escape😅
I like the clip, accept for the Grizzly Bear encounter. A sow Grizzly weighs from 350 - 600 lbs while even the largest male cougar weighs around 180. A male Grizzly easily tops 750 lbs and often more than 1k so a Grizzly has not only the size and weight, but the fat, claws, teeth and raw power to kill a cougar with one swipe of the paw. Thoughts?
野生動物が争うシーンは、生命の輪を力強く思い出させます。
The film maker trying really hard to prove that American cougar is a strong and dangerous animal/hunter and should get respect :D like tigers and lions in other continents. Even the name they use to call them with "Mountain Lion" But fact is fact dear it cant be in that race with Lions and Tigers its just a little bit bigger kitty, the cougar. :D

You really need to work on your sequencing. There need to be far longer pauses and more obvious transitions between the individual segments.

In the shots of badgers, the first one is the North American species. But in the following scenes, European badgers are shown.
There are a lot of pedants commenting on this site. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks. BTW, I don't want there to be a staged fight (that practice is so cruel), but I wonder how a puma would do if it faced a comparably sized leopard (from over the waters).

Yes but I’ve never heard of a black Puma called a mountain lion.
Dogs actually win out most fights with a big cat. - Its not all about size. Health, nutrition, and the fact that all predators are VERY aware of each others 'claws and teeth' can quickly turn the tables, unless you can sink yours in immediately. Most wild predators are malnourished, nursing wounds, and desperate. - its pack hunters ya gotta worry about. I've seen the full video with the 4 hounds. They chased the cat a ways down then killed it. It wasn't a hunt, they were protecting livestock. - if the cat had run away it would have been fine; but thats what I mean about health. It obviously didn't have the stamina to run away, and probably didn't realise 4 very healthy hounds were in the area, else it would have gone elsewhere and not gotten trapped.

My grandfather collected bounty on cougars. He used 5-6 wolfhounds. Said anything less than that usually meant a dead hound or two. Over a 120 years ago, that was when the average Irish Wolfhound was 180 lbs for a female, and 220 lbs for the average male. Some were bigger. Feeding a pack of them was a bit of a problem. BUT $100 for the bounty went a long way in 1890.
