Im a solo hiker and there's few things i fear more than the mountain lion but with equal admiration for these beautiful creatures.

I walked up on one years ago, while hiking with my small grandchildren. It was huge and beautiful, very healthy and appeared well fed. Probably what save us, we were appx 10 feet from it lounging on a rock. We immediately backed away and left. I gave us the once over, but never moved thank God. The children were very small. I will never forget it, as I love cats, I could see the green around the irises.

I live in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. I’m here watching this because around 5am this morning I saw a mountain lion in our front yard. They must be spreading their population. I’ve lived in this area all my life (44 years). There hasn’t been sightings in this specific location, Summit Road..at least not that I’m aware of. It was a trip! I thought it was a dog at first, but then realized it’s tail was too long. Super intimidating yet breathtaking creature.

Don't count on them to protect your life or to help save you. I simply ignore them. I carry a real big knife and bear strength pepper spray. Gladly never needed them, yet! The trippy part is that cougars are nearby and we won't even know it. But I'm worried more about running into feral pigs. That's another story! They're far less predictable than cougars. I didn't realize cougars were being relocated in Midpen. I've been hiking, riding bicycles and climbing rocks there since the '70s. We were riding bikes in there long before mountain bikes existed! These mtns used to be quite empty and you'd rarely see another trail user. That's not the case anymore. If you want the wilderness experience, either start well before dawn or go out to Henry Coe State Park. This is my personal 'Disneyland'! I've seen a couple cougars at Midpen, more evidence of them around. There's a Christmas tree farm near Horseshoe lake where Ive seen quite a few carcasses and the bones of larger animals. Even a really big hawk was all torn up. I've also seen cougars in the mtns around South San Jose (my home) and several at Henry Coe State Park. Saw a cougar and a coyote, scuffling over a feral pig carcass once. That was exciting! I see cougar tracks all the time in quite populated areas. Riding at night, I see all sorts of wildlife come out of the mountains looking for water in the summer. My brother sees or films mtn lions on a regular basis on his property near Felton.

I've lived in California for my entire life and am absolutely intrigued by these amazing creatures. I've primarily lived in Northern California and in walking distance of rural, river areas where Mountain Lions have historically always inhabited. Never seen one in the wild which is probably a good thing but I have no doubt that a cougar has probably seen me. Mountain Lions are so beautiful and amazing and deserving of respect and a rationale caution/fear. Amazing video, I hate watching such powerful, apex predators being caught in a cage but I do understand that the intention is to study and understand for preservation.

Fantastic Video. I have been involved with Enviromental and Wildlife Conservation. As a second generation LA resident dating back to 1892. I have seen so much change in the areas of the Santa Monica mountains. I Remember when the 101 and 405 freeways weren't there to 10 and 14 lanes of 24-hour, 7 day a week traffic. I am proud and so happy to see the Wildlife Overpass in the Agoura area being constructed. Being a supporter of Save LA Cougars since the inception, local people getting together to make this happen needs to be a part of life around the world. This problem exists all over, including countries like South Africa. Please everyone needs to do what they can to make living with nature the top priority.

@@josha3891 Since GatCat has not answered I hope my experience might help. I have been an active backpacker and rock climber since I was very young. Even worked as a Park Ranger in the Sierra Nevada mountains a few seasons. Mountain lions are very solitary animals, often times avoiding humans at all costs. Depending on where you live "as long as there is a healthy deer population in the area you are hiking" you should never have a run in with one. Let alone one with any interest in you. Heavily forested areas away from civilization tend to be the best. In California there have only been 18 attacks in the past 37 years. All open areas. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

I lived in Los Gatos for 40 years, including living in the Santa Cruz Mountain area of the town for 25 of those years, often hiking for miles several times a week. Los Gatos was named by Spanish residents before the Gold Rush because the area nestled against the mountain terrain of Redwood forest where many Mountain Lions and Bobcats made their home. In all the time I lived there, I only spotted *one* of each species once. I'm sure I hiked past them several times as they hid in the brush, and I occasionally saw the corpses of their kills. I was very disappointed, and saddened by their rarity in a place named after them!

The mountain lions are there and people post the clips. They are huge. They come at night. Santa Cruz Mtns. must have a lot, such a big area. My BF came upon a mom & her cubs in Fremont Older in Cupertino while mountain biking. He first noticed the vultures circling, then saw cubs playing on the trail and he stopped and backed out--he said, I know mom was there eating and there's no way I' was getting near the cubs. That was a weekday morning and no one else on the trail, no humans, I mean.

The homeowner tried different sprays and things to prevent the deer from eating his expensive trees but those things seems to attract deer. Then one morning I went to work and there were lion tracks around the home we were building. From then on there were no deer to devour the scrubs and trees.

I was born in California in 1940 and raised in what was once country In Contra Costa County, We had a horse pasture and as a kid, I would play in the hills there. A Mountian Lion lived in a brush-covered gorge my sister and our only neighbors' kids would play around. Every once in a while we would see it running by but it never bothered us or our horses. It was a bit scary walking home from the school bus stop in the winter which was about a mile from our house. I would sing really loud when I passed under the trees hoping to scare it off if it was in them waiting to pounce, but of course, it never did. My dad who was a hunter once got a look at it from a distance and went over to check out its tracks. They went deeper in the mud then his so it must have been a pretty big cat. I lived in Orinda until high school living and camping in those hills. I think cats know what's off-limits and in the years that followed I developed a theory that if you see one running away from it is the worse thing you can do.

I live there too, and I’ve been hiking in the Wilderness Park several times with various people. On one of my first hikes when I was new to the area, I went with a group of women from church. I soon realized that they were very experienced hikers and had been on the hikes many times, so they would scale the steep hills very rapidly, not caring what scenery or flowers there were to potentially view! I had to do the quick glance technique, like you do when you’re driving! Either that, or get left behind, because they would stop at nothing!! So after scaling many steep hills for about seven miles, I was getting extremely tired and my legs were feeling like rubber bands! This feeling could easily have been prevented, had we just stopped to rest even for two minutes here and there to enjoy the scenery and maybe look at a flower or two! I’m not even sure what we saw on that hike! 😂 Well, when we were nearing the end, after three hours or so, having hiked a round trip, and needing to scale one more steep trail to get up to the end, where our cars were parked at a neighborhood park, the three other women who were still with us went up this last one even faster! The trail turned so that no one could be seen near the top for several minutes before reaching it, which meant that those near the bottom also couldn’t be seen! My legs, being like rubber bands, and my lungs and heart, having to breathe and beat so rapidly while scaling the hill, and already being so exhausted, wouldn’t obey my will to not be left alone at the mercy of a potential lion! So, that’s how I suddenly found myself!! 😮 …All alone and worried about lions!! What I would have done, I had no idea, except maybe to perish! What would my three children have done with no mom? I tried not to think of it! I tried my hardest to keep at least some kind of pace!!! I kept going up and up, trying to not pause for more than ten seconds to catch my breath here and there! …Finally, I was much nearer the park, where I felt so much safer, like I’d have a chance if I did see a mountain lion! At least they’d hear my screams and maybe come running! I made it safely to the top, and felt victoriously safer! Plus our hike was over! THEN, I allowed myself to enjoy the good feeling you have when a long hike is over and you can rest for a little while!!! 😊 And I was so very grateful that I made it safely out in one piece, even though I had been left alone against my will! Whew!!!

As someone who spends lots of time outdoors in N. Wackofornia, and for decades, cougars are alive and quite well. At least here in the Bay Area. They're thriving and there's plenty of evidence. I see big animal bones and mtn lion tracks very often. I have had several encounters with them. All peaceful. Just once a cougar and a coyote were fighting over a dead pig carcass. Intense but, Not much of a fight though.... The real problem in Wackofornia is liberal disinformation and incompetence Thats not to mention , the constant scare tactics.

Dr. Vickers is an articulate and passionate man. Thanks to him and the many others depicted in the series maybe the Mountain Lions of California have a chance. I met Dr. Vickers recently at another Mountain Lion symposium and he's just as dedicated as I imagined. Great job on the documentary.

This documentary shows that many different people are involved in the battle to save the mountain lion. Lots of crossing points of the major highways is clearly the answer, so the animals avoid being killed by cars and trucks. The mountain lion is a magnificent beast and I hope it can survive in this world of highways and urban sprawl.

I never saw a mountain lion even once in California. I came across a coyote a few times in a park which is right next to homes.(Paso Nogal park, Pleasant Hill). He would spot me from a distance, and quietly move into the shrubs. I have seen deer and snake many a time. I used to hike alone quite a bit - in the Mt. Diablo area by Regency Drive, Concord, in King's Canyon Park Moraga, Redwood Regional Park Oakland, the upper rim trail in Lafayette Reservoir, Las Trampas near Danville, the hills in Lafayette close to Highway 24, etc. Maybe it was for the better that I didn't run into any!

Here in Southern Colorado my neighbors loved to see the mountain sheep so they began feeding them. This in turn gave the mountain lions an advantage in hunting the sheep. One evening as my neighbors were watching the mountain sheep feed on the food they had placed a mountain lion burst from the forest and harvested a sheep. The neighbors were aghast. They called the Division of Wildlife in order to have something done about the mountain lion. By the time the DOW officer arrived the lion had removed the sheep to a more secluded area near the neighbors home to dine. Nothing was done about or to the lion because it was doing what lions do. The neighbors on the other hand were cited and given an education on why you do not feed the wildlife. We have a lot of lions in this area and the population is growing even with sport hunting. It is very closely regulated. We are able to determine how healthy the food supply is for the lions by determining how many household pets disappear.

I fully expect a YT video in the near future with a puma saying, "Why I am leaving California." I just hope they can secure a rental from U-Growl. It costs a mountain lion 5 times more to rent from California to Texas than it does from Texas to California.

This is a lovely film. Very patiently explaining what the animals need to survive.

What a magnificent, beautiful creature! We should be doing all we can to help sustain these wild populations. 😻

I love the narrative. Such a pleasure to watch! Thank you.

Once I was sleeping in a volcanic mountain near Mono Lake (CA) -- one of the oldest lakes in the world. I woke up in a ponderosa forest and I knew there was a mountain lion nearby. The lion said it preferred to be called a puma. I immediately went back to sleep. The next morning as I was leaving, I saw puma tracks in the lava sand ...

About 6 years ago after I moved to farm country in Northern CA interior, we had a pack of mountain lions living near the property. We also had wild boars come to our road and dig up the landscape overnight. I believe they are gone now due to illegal hunting. The coyotes are also gone. They were definitely shot by the ranchers here. So sad. Still makes my heart hurt.

Those aren't boars. Boars arent native to the US. They're feral pigs and theyre not a natural species by any means. These are ancestors of domestic pigs bred with wild boars which were imported from Europe for hunting. They are another big mistake made by selfish humans! Feral pigs need to be eradicated. They're a BIG problem in many areas around the country. Regular hunts happen all over the country to destroy them, even in Wackofornia. They wreck habitat for natural species. They are also very destructive. Feral pigs are actually more dangerous to humans than cougars who you'll rarely even know are lurking nearby. Feral pigs eat everything, being omnivorous. They breed incredibly quickly and have few natural predators which can't keep up with the pig's fast rate of reproduction. Beware of feral pigs. They are very unpredictable and volatile.

Jan Conway. The mountain lions that can legally be killed for eating livestock or pets should be captured and relocated. These puma,s then could be evaluated and tagged as well. It wouldn't be easy and would require the cooperation of pet owners and farmers.

There should be reassessments of existing rodeway infrastructure countrywide! Even if they do not pass the infrastructure Bill in Congress, the states and counties should locate the busiest crossings of the highway by wildlife and build an underground passageway at that point! The best thing would be to put an underground passageway every 3- 5 miles or so! If this was done routinely we could save thousands and thousands of animals from being run over by vehicles!

We actually need the birth rate to grow, in order to support our population from turning into a geriatric society while people are living longer lives and many lives aren’t even being born! Many societies are heading toward this pathway! They’re predicting in 50 years that there will be a huge lack of young people, which will not support our economic growth needed to support a healthy, thriving society and all the workers needed to keep it going. …Not to mention who is going to support all these geriatrics who are trying to live on Social Security?? …Guess it won’t be so secure! Not with women of childbearing age not willing to be parents as much as they used to be willing in former generations. That’s the reason that Retirement Age for full benefits is no longer 65. It’s now 66, and will be 67 for those born in the 1960s, and 68 for those born in the 1970s, and so on. They had to find SOME way to support a huge population of Geriatric people! We’re headed toward hard times with a society that will potentially consist of 80% of its population over the age of 40! If you don’t believe it, research it!

When I was a kid in the early 1990s I lived in Paradise, CA and our house was right on the edge of the butte creek canyon ridge. My best friend and I were walking to our other friends house down the street (probably to go get some weed, like a good Californian) and when we got about a quarter mile from his house, I stopped to tie my shoe and the moment I did I turned around to see a cougar belly crawling towards us about 8 feet away. My friend and I screamed so goddamn loud the Lion took off and our friends dad came running down the street with a 12 gauge shotgun. He was certain we were being attacked because he had seen the cougar the night before. That was my first of 3 encounters with those things over the years. 2 in California amd one in Washington State near Mt Rainer.

A lot of drug abuse amongst the younger generations and a lot of alcohol abuse for the older ones. I have many friends over the years that have died in car accidents (way more than the people I knew after I left paradise and moved to Seattle), and quiet a few that drowned in the river up highway 70. Not a lot of opportunity for younger people for work, unless they can commute the 30 to 45 minutes to Chico everyday. Plus, there's a serious problem with racism in the foothills the further up you go. People are usually pretty cool with Mexican people, but black people are not very welcomed by a good 10 to 25 percent. Not a number I arrived scientifically, but I couldn't believe how often I heard the N word used openly in Magalia after moving back from being gone for 18 years in other states. My wife is from Queens NY, and we met in Paradise 9 months after I moved back, and she is still shocked by how openly racist quite a few people were there (plus she isn't white, so she really got to see and hear some stuff). But that's not the majority of the population, and for the most part people there are very friendly, very Christian, and very proud to be from the ridge. I miss the place terribly and it's still beyond depressing to know that it's been wiped out and that most of the community has packed up and moved away forever. It's probably going to be taken over by rich people from the bay area.

Just as we immunize our pets, make sure they are not left vulnerable in the cougars hunting hours, dusk to dawn. It's sad, but children are seen as fair game and measures should be taken by parents who live in cat country, as I do, including broad daylight. I don't want to live in a country that doesn't include these noble and mysterious creatures, unfortunately humans have been claiming and picking at more and more of their native habitate, where there used to be very rare encounters, most of which we knew nothing about because the cat saw us first and would silently split. Now they have become more brazen and curious about the other Apex Predator in the neighborhood. Extermination would leave our species all the poorer. Once, we too were mighty warriors, who fought, tooth and club for our food and the safety of our families. Now we have powerful tools and poisons to kill things that are scary to our softened skin or inconvenient to us in our elevated feign-glory. The adaptations and education we need are well within our power, and, if you think about it, fall well within our responsibility as steward species of this world.

You sound intelligent, I’d love to pick your brain one day! In the middle of the pandemic, when all the shelters were closed, we adopted a family of stray cats from the alley. We fixed the females first, but the male’s turn never came - he was taken by the coyotes, I saw them dragging away his lifeless, limp body....and till this day my husband and I blame ourselves for not fixing him right away. He constantly wanted to be outside, especially during the nights. It’s sad, but it’s our fault!!! Coyotes just happen to be not very cute (to most people), and seem evil, intimidating. Everyone wants to kill the coyotes, blame them for the pets / livestock disappearances / demises. But the coyotes are just doing what the nature intended them to do - hunt to survive. We don’t realize that we’ve encroached on their, and many other species’, territory and we are not intending to stop anytime soon. The cities are growing, wildlife gets misplaced and cut off the food/water sources and when the wildlife gets too close to our backyards we freak out and want them gone. Humanity needs to finally understand that we can’t keep on killing / destroying everything that doesn’t fit into our little minds, lifestyles, or houses. We’ve gone too far already, but it’s not too late to turn things around!!! On the positive note, everyday I meet more and more people like you and me.

She then, stepped down and began feeding from a trail of seasoned rice I had previously slung towards the log for the mice, ...and came closer, and closer, until she was 3 feet directly in front of me, and got down on all fours to finish the rice as if she was my personal domestic feline cat. She then, raised her head straight up ( I thought, wow, she has a long neck ), because she could hear the small field mice in the stone wall behind me. I didn't respond, so she lowered her head, and raised it a second time ( I had previously learned, when animals asked you for food, they only asked twice ). ...So, I said to her ( none verbally communication / in my thoughts ), "no, no, that's Spotty-and-them." ...and She gently turned and walked away very calmly. ...I then began replaying what had just happened, and after a minute or so, I began to feel nervous as I thought, "that was a MOUNTAIN LION!" ... . . ."Oh, The Lord is with me, so everything is COOL." .. ... ...

On African cats, wolves, even elephants. However, it's just like wearing a necklace: They don't even notice it and studies have shown it doesn't hinder their behavior, hunting abilities, or mating abilities. Thanks for your concern though!
