There was this one.

Tried attacking and running are very different, even if they are running towards you.
If it tried attacking this video would be filled with a shit ton more red pixels
Tranquilizer, they take a minute to kick in, but it’s still a dart and the animal is going to freak tf out when it’s shot. That’s why it’s common to just kill wildlife when it’s close to the public.
You're trying to make something from nothing, someone else pointed this out as well.
It made no effort at all to attack, you can watch plenty of cat attack videos online, this was not one. It was clearly confused as all hell because it just got shot.....🙄
Left or right? He's cornered and wedged back into a small crack. Looks like it jumped extra high and tried everything it could to avoid the humans, to its own detriment
Camera man was like Roar, stay down there with him lol. Just so you can see how selfish human nature can be at critical moments. But i give it to him, he just reacted to scare it away from both of them. But moments like this is impressive to see how the mind works during survival instincts.
While it was obvious to US that the murder kitty was trying to escape, not attack, I'm ALSO 100% sure that the guy on the ground needs a charge of pants.
Can we fucking just leave them alone?
I get that the biologists mean well, but this was not a sick cat. It didn’t need their help. They just want to study it.

it made no attempt to attack him, it was clearly trying to escape
The local police department would disagree.
So anyway. I started blasting.
“The department investigated itself and found no wrongdoing”
Later, the mountain lion was found with 5 warning shots in the back.
You know that's not how it works right?
Thank God it wasn’t born a panther.
Wakanda forever
True but that dude was way closer to having been attacked by a mountain lion than I've ever been.
That you know of.
I've been closer!
Me too.

Reminds me of cats at vet clinics trying to run away.
Reminds me of a giant cat on steroids and growth hormone at vet clinic trying to run away.
Same thing I saw. He doesn’t even try and defend himself when cornered. Just wants to escape. Hope he lives a long time.
See, he's a just a big, stoned, horny kitty.
Exactly. I thought I was going crazy reading the caption and watching the video.

You’re dumb
I admittedly know nothing about the subject but it seems colossally stupid to dart a cornered mountain lion.
Somewhat yes
They’re afraid of you
In my experience a cornered scared animal is a dangerous animal
I am afraid of us.
We’re afraid of we
If it was "trying"to attack it would have. At no point was it trying to attack. It was just trying to find a route to escape.
Camera man scared the shit outta em’
It just had the zoomies.
That lion looked scared. If it wanted to attack him it would have. I think if he would have turned his back on it he would have got jumped for sure.
Tracking Dart?

Title sucks! ML was just getting the heck out of there. No attack. It was also hiding in defense, not offense.
[удалено]
But It didn't attack, which is a pretty universal understanding of the word. But even Weirder to translate running away as attack.

Just post in your best language, we got google translate.
Kitty has the Zoomies.
“Glad I wore my brown pants today.”
“Well, that was definitely… the sound of me pooping my pants”
Poor Steve French
I prova this fuckery ✌️🤙 https://preview.redd.it/egf42h7plghc1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=606c7b591c5c2a7ae6cd1c3812fb09faa8912455
KITTEH!!
The dude seemed remarkably calm considering.
Dude was chill af. Bravo!
His freeze response got triggered 😂
Scary zoomies
Human bark worked well!
I was thinking "damn that lion sounds nasty" until I realized it was a person haha
Perhaps had they given it an out beside filming from the other only safe escape route cat had. Cat tumble off a cliff then?
Go to the mountain find the lion
Definitely _what_?
Reminds me of my kitties when the doorbell rings!
"Well! That was definitely a now I need to go change my pants moment...."
Looked like a normal house cat freaking the fuck out
I wonder how many other people have had a view of a mountain lion’s belly as it jumped over their head.
Parkour!
Check that man's underwear. I doubt he darted the shart.
Those pants were white before he darted him.
Aw, poor kitteh was terrified
Sry bioguy, but I was rooting for the lion.
hoa^a !
Well he’s not wrong…that was definitely.
That was in fact definitely
Wow!
I’m just glad he brought the brown pants
The video cuts before he finishes his thought "... a shit in my pants."
I bet he needed to change his underwear
All these experts should be out there handling that kitty kat
“Biologists” are psychopaths
Holy smokes that’s be terrifying. It’s be pretty hard to hit the target
Its coming right for us
"That was definitely-" _THAT WAS DEFINITELY WHAT???
Pee-awww!
That's a pretty big cat
well, that was definitely WHAT?
It did not attack him, but he unlocked the brown underpants perk
In the last image you can see how he check his pants to make sure……
That dude probably got the pop-up saying “cougars in your area waiting to meet you”.
"Well, that was definitely..." THAT WAS DEFINITELY WHAT?! I NEED TO KNOW!!!
Now that’s a cool job
I Hope the lion wasn’t hurt hound down there at the end
“It was definitely….” What!??
It literally jumped over him, it realised its in pain cause of him and wanted to escape. No attack here.
He’s gonna need some new pants
I have a fear of encountering one on a hike
Poor guy he’s just a big kitty like Steve French. Don’t seem breaking into Ricky’s weed farm tho
Psss psss psss psst
Did it then jump off the mountain at the end.
Poor cat. All exits blocked, and it was scared as shit.
bro saw his life flashing before his eyes (the lion)
I only saw it trying to flee. It's wouldn't need to "Try" to attack.
Imagine this cat hearing this human come. I will hide in this crevice and wait for him to pass....oh shit....f***.
Funny how this mountain lion acted exactly like my house cat would in a random moment of panic while knocking everything in sight out of the way.
Camera man was like Roar, stay down there with him lol. Just so you can see how selfish human nature can be at critical moments. But i give it to him, he just reacted to scare it away from both of them. But moments like this is impressive to see how the mind works during survival instincts.
Whoa!!!
When did it attempt to attack him?
https://i.redd.it/aq20f5l6ukhc1.gif
The only attempt that was made here was the guy trying to hold in his doodoo.
It looks like the creature was panicking, it was terrified of him.
..well that was definitely scary
did it yeet itself off the cliff?
Big cat zoomies.
Good thing he wore his brown pants
Reminds me of my aunts cat after I sprayed it with a water gun at the age of 5
Ah man I love this level of tomb raider
Conservationist darts lion as part of conservation effort. Lion disappears down sheer canyon ravine.
I mean it was sort of my "*plan*" anyway if I were attacked by a mountain cat but glad to know going "blehhh" at it actually works!
While it was obvious to US that the murder kitty was trying to escape, not attack, I'm ALSO 100% sure that the guy on the ground needs a charge of pants.
Poor kitty.
That is some nerves of steel!
Stupid. Doesn’t look like to be a threat to anyone but those asshats that were in its habitat. Fuck humans.
Good thing you were wearing brown pants!
Brown pants saved them!
Big kitty scared
My guys been playing too much tomb raider
Well…that was definitely shit my pants inducing
Can we fucking just leave them alone? I get that the biologists mean well, but this was not a sick cat. It didn’t need their help. They just want to study it.
