But you really can't be taking chances at all with situations liek this without a doubt.

I live in Southern California (San Diego) where Mountain Lions are common, even having been seen in the cities. As common as they are attacks are rare but they do happen. In the late 90s there was a series of attacks in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park in San Diego County. There were predatory attacks as at least one of the victims was found half eaten. In the early 2000s there was another series of attacks in nearby Orange County and Los Angeles County. Even though attacks are rare they do deserve to be at the top of this particular list. Mountain Lions are enormously powerful. A cat weighing 150 pounds can bring down a Moose weighing up to 1800 pounds.

Clouded leopards are part of the Pantherinae with the 5 other panthera cat lineages. Also cougar is one of many names for that cat but the most correct name for it is "puma" it is from the Genus Puma & it's scientific name is Puma concolor.

Cougars seem to fill the same niche as leopards in the Eastern Hemisphere. Both reach similar sizes too

The thing about cougars is that they are nearly impossible to detect. I grew up in cougar territory and spent a lot of time outdoors and saw cougar tracks and scat now and then, but only once did I see a cougar in the wild (not counting flashes from cars at night). I'm sure many cougars saw me though.

One day, while sitting outside drinking coffee, some persistent head-butting clued me in to a straggler who wanted some attention. The brushes were already there on the table, so I went to 'er. When my buddy came out of one of the sheds, where he'd be pounding away on something, the big cat up and left me at a trot. "Haven't seen this one before," I remarked. My buddy sat down with a thoughtful look on his face and said, "Neither have I."

Caracal are related to serval not lynx

Cougars / pumas are no joke.. Back in 2007 when a friend and I purchased property in East Texas, I had heard talk about a black jag was killing cattle close to me.. I blew it off as inbreeders gossip.. However, I was walking the fence line one evening, and for some reason I did have the G27 on me like I usually did.. No biggie (I thought)... Coming back down the fence line, where it was dirts and almost sand from heavy rains washing the area out, I noticed BIG paw prints... What seriously almost unnerved me is they were NOT there when I walk past before.. And these prints were literally in line with my own boot prints. My "radar" went max and I was scanning all around me, and up into the trees.. We're talking maybe 15 minutes at most since I had previously been in this spot. Reached for the G27 that wasn't there.. I had probably 500 yards back to the house and I was absolutely on guard.. Before we finished up the project (I was living out there at the time to oversee it) I finally saw one while glassing around our neighbor's property. I found it laid up in his hay bailer.. Pulled my rifle out and put crosshairs on it, but ole' "Wayne Ray"'s house was right behind it / in line, so no joy.. By the time I got in touch with him it was gone.. Cats are some seriously sneaky fkrs.. Having one stalk / walk right behind me with huge pads (for what I'm used to seeing) really got my attention... RIP to the brother that died which you listed here.. Probably scared it somehow..

Even if I had the Glock 27. or a shotgun on me, I don't know if I would have even heard it coming and attacking me outside of probably a fraction of a second prior to impact / contact. Like Orcas, I am glad most cats don't consider us their food source.. IF theu did, we'd be seriously in touble for a long time, and eventually all cats would be 'removed' by "hunters".... As for Orcas.. No human would step food into an ocean for a very long time.. Glad people are not allowed to shoot these cats by permit (etc) in a lot of places.. Don't mess with them... Generally speaking, the don't care to mess with you / us..

Note that both caracal and cheetah were once used to hunt as a "hound for nobles". Rich families kept them in their kennels in India and Africa up to XIX century. So, these cats are not more dangerous to a human than, f.ex. Hungarian shepherd dogs.

Cougars/Mountain Lions may seem really scary. But at heart, like most predators, they're cowards. Make a lot of noise and make yourself look bigger than you are by waving your arms. And if attacked go for the eyes, the ears, or the nose. Use a rock, a stick, or anything else you can reach to make your blows hit harder.

When I grew up, back in the 90's the cheeta and the clouded leopard were considered big cats. I've always found it strange that the puma wans't a big cat also.

Caracals are also found in India, but they are critically endangered, with a around 200 animals alive

Out of curiosity, would you be more afraid of big cats, or big dogs?

If you ride a bicycle in a "wild" area or an area where dogs run loose be cautious. I've been chased by dogs and been stalked by a cougar once. The best thing you can do is get off your bike. The animal(s) will then see that you are a human and not some four legged beastie, and usually run away. Still it helps to carry pepper spray or bear spray just in case. Never had to use mine but had to pull it a couple of times.

Maybe do one on bovines/ buffalo?

Im really infected with toxiplasmosis gandi, because they all look friendly to me.

The Cheetah’s closest relative in is the Cougar, and you can see this if you look closely to the head wich are very similar and also the built of both species is somewhat similar
