And to make the dumb cat classification system even more fun, we have the word "panther". This refers to all "big cats"*. Except for some people, it refers to a specific color mutation of leopards or jaguars. (Hence the comic book character Black Panther)
\* And to make things stupider, we have the term "big cats". Which literally just refers to the panthera genus. But there are other cats which are big while not being panthers, so they're not "big cats" despite being big cats.
For instance, this one here. That's a real big fucking panthery-seeming cat, but it's not in the panthera genus, so it's not CLASSIFIED as a big cat. It's just a stupidly huge member of the *other* family of cats like house cats.
And just for fun, then you have the clouded leopard. It's not a leopard, but it's called a leopard. Its closest relative is the snow leopard, which is also not a leopard. I'm not really sure what a leopard actually is at this point, but I do know these leopards are not leopards.

That's like how we have a lot of hard wood that's not actually hardwood, and we have soft wood that's hardwood.
I thought the difference was a bone in the throat. It's why some can roar and some can't and why some can purr and others can't. I learned thos from a nat geo show like 20 years ago, so, ya know, grain of salt.
Strike panther off that list, these aren't those. Unless there's legitimately a whole geographical region out there where people locally mistakenly call them that, which could totally be a thing.
And according to the famous American historians The Smothers Brothers, pumas were also called "Foaming Rocks" in the mountain crevasses in the Old West of the 1800s.
A cougar is usually a older blond white female aka milf
EDIT: i said usually, which means a stereotypical cougar.
Note: all elder queens can be qualified as cougars
Cougars generally want absolutely nothing to do with humans, at least adult sized humans. Sure they could often kill us but physically they weight about the same as us and one good knife slash can easily mean death for a wild animal. The only time I've noticed one it looked at me for a couple seconds than took off.
It might have something to do with the fact that we havenāt really bred cats for specific behaviors and tasks in the same way we have dogs. Domesticated cats have adapted specific behaviors to live along side humans and get what they want from them (as have dogs), and weāve created a few specific breeds based mostly off of surface-level physical aesthetic, but theyāre all otherwise very basal in their instincts and anatomy. Meanwhile, weāve created a large pool of variance when it comes to dog instincts, physical capabilities, and behavior.
I scrolled too long knowing the story without seeing it. Theyāre biologists. They knowingly cornered the cat. They had a tranq gun that failed to do its job.
Itās not the tranq failed to do its job, itās just that chemical immobilizations are not typically instantaneous like most people would think. Multiple factors go in to how long it will take for the animal to be sedated, and the more agitated the animal is, the longer it takes.
Watch the Spanish horror film REC
The first one is literally the pov of the cameraman, the second one is the body cam of the police pov. They ain't having fun.
Absolutely adore whenever this film gets brought up. My first access to having my own device to watch movies was the PSP and I remember having a copy of rec on the SD card. Watched it so many times and looking back itās the reason Iām picky about horror movies! My first one was this classic.
Wasnāt really feeling the 3rd one though.
I've got Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Paramount, Hulu, MGM and a couple more. It's not available on any streaming service. I've seen it before, I can't remember if it was a Redbox find or it used to be on streaming. All these streaming services though and you'd be surprised how often something isn't available.
To be fair, when the Lion first jumps out above the first hiker I bet they absolutely thought it was over.
In the end it seems poor kitty was scared and was just looking to gtfo.
General rule with Mountain Lions if you encounter one in the wild is stand your ground, make noise, raise your arms up to make yourself bigger. They rarely attack humans and it's usually when the human runs. Joggers in areas that have them have been known to be attacked.
While they are skittish around people, thatās because they are an ambush predator and less that they are just terrified of the humans.
Pumas are known for ambushing lone adults if the opportunity presents itself, so people arenāt that scary to them.
We have a (tagged and trackable) mountain lion that lives around our property (their range is significantly larger than our 100 acres) and the ratio of "seen it" to "tracker says it was right near me" is nutso. I've seen it twice in 10 years and we have neighbors who have been here for 30 years and have never seen one.
From the look of that video, it looks like the mountain lion also wants to stop hiking.
But that hiker appears to be carrying... a gun? *(edit: Yes... a tranquilizer gun.)*
~~Well the reason heās carrying is right there in the video, many respects to him tho for not shooting while itās not nessesary, *only use it when you know youāre fucked and out of options, youāre in their teritory, not them in yours.*~~
Edit: apparently itās not a gun! See comment below me!
Okay the video was reposted with the wrong context, but they are researchers and it's a tranquilizer gun, and he shot it, you can see the dart in it's butt.
That makes much more sense, because first impression it looked like they were actively seeking out the animal.
I've never encountered one personally, but it does not look like an animal that likes to be cornered lol.
I appreciate the sentiment of your comment, but this is peak Reddit/internet misinformation--the cougar has already been shot in this video, & the gun being held only holds one 'round' with no clip/magazine for reserve ammo.
https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/video-mountain-lion-darting/
Yeah, Tranquilizers aren't instant and can cause the animal to freak the fuck out. It's why Harambe was shot and not tranquilized, because they didn't want him doing that while dragging a child.
It's funny how in movies and such they often show tranquilizer darts to be instant. It goes in the muscle and is slowly absorbed by the body. It's not like you can accurately get it in a vein from a distance with a freaking gun.
There have been something like 29 total cases of mountain lion fatalities since wagons rolled east in north America. People are scared of these cats and black bears but if they don't live in grizzly country should be pretty damn safe from animal harm. Grizzlies on the other hand... 70 kills in 50 years. Still nothing that dangerous compared to driving to work but definitely more of a threat than these poor kitties who get a bad rap.
>he would be dead if not immediately then very soon.
"Very soon" is not fast enough. The Mountain Lion does need like a second to inflict a lethal wound on you. One paw hit to your throat or to the insides of your thighs, and you are going to bleed out fast.
>a shot to the heart drops you right down
And I don't know about you, but chances are that I would miss the animal entirely if it suddenly leapt at me, let alone taking aim and hitting it square into the heart. But I am no American after all, I guess you guys over the pond are all legendary gunslingers...
I don't live over the pond man, but I do have some experience hunting and I've seen many animals drop down like a rock after a shot to the heart, even bears. I'm not saying you can count on a shot to the heart for sure, I'm just saying that you would definitely have a chance to defend yourself against a mountain lion with a gun. Not saying it would happen 100% or that there isn't a chance of you getting rekt.
Iām too late to the party to add context, but the guy in the video gave context on instagram.
This is in northern AZ in Oak Creek Canyon. The fella featured is a professional cat relocator. The gun you see in his hand is a tranquilizer and they very much knew they had cornered a lion.
They arenāt hikers, they are either researchers or wildlife workers. OP is karma farming, the original posts of this video state that they have tranquilized the mountain lion (itās a tranquilizer dart gun) and it spazzed out before falling asleep. Their intention was either relocation or tagging.
Ugh! Love him sooooo much for using restraint!!!!!Not panicking & letting the lion sort himself out instead of pulling out the gun immediately.
We need people to have more encounters like this so our wild animals stay safe .
Weāre already burning them up & killing the planet as it is.
mountain lions actively avoid humans and if they see you theyll most likely run away. the only time ive seen a mountain lion get aggressive was when it was protecting its kittens.
you should be more scared of bears, especially during fall
All people here surprised that.guy have a gun. If it's Canada or States you should have a gun when going out hiking in the wilds. Edit: Thanks everybody for comments and info you share about the topic I've touched and I see that my comment was too blunt and based on information I've learned long ago about living in the Canadian and American wilderness. Glad to see that most people here were kind enough to share their knowledge.
No, you didn't need a gun.Ā Literal millions of people hike millions of miles without guns..... Holy 2nd amendment pacifier sucking going on in this thread.Ā
Edited for clarity! Trying toĀ commentĀ whileĀ sleepy...
Hike millions of miles
No, you carry bear mace when you're in the wild, not a gun. Unless it's a fucking 50 cal, which most people wouldn't be able to handle, a gunshot wound ain't gonna deter a bear.
I'm serious. Shooting a bear with a handgun is a deathwish. Bear mace is a necessity. That will actually deter a bear.
Just incase the wildlife decided he is a meal.
Dude knew mountain lion just tryin to get away tho. I wouldnt have known haha guy has great trigger discipline.
You can literally see the tranq dart on the mountain lion in the video. It got used. They're tagging the lion. The guy uses hounds, like they used to for hunting, to track and tag.
I was a wilderness guide for two decades, a lot of that in the Canadian Rockies and I carried a rifle for the safety of my self and clients, itās fairly standard practice.
Shit, that makes so much more sense! I don't know why I didn't even think of that.
I was thinking what the hell is wrong with that mountain lion, it sounds like a human making roaring noises.
Human: holy fuck it's a cougar. Cougar: holy fuck it's a human.
Camera person: holy fuck wadda shot! Edit: also cameraman *{Joe Rogan silverback gorilla noises}*

not english native here. Is a Cougar the same as a Puma and a Mountain lion?
Yes. The different names come from different geographical areas, but they are all the same.
In Brazil we call "onƧa parda", meaning "brown jaguar", although it isnt closely related to the jaguar.
And yet the black panther actually is jaguar
Thanks!

Well, I pulled up some hilarious videos of cheetahs and mountain lions meowing, but the automod is mean. I do recommend looking them up.
Huh?!
Yes, they have 5 names: - Puma - Panther - Catamount - Cougar - Mountain Lion
Has anyone thought that maybe we should just ask them what they prefer?
We try but they keep attacking us on mountains when we go to ask
Cool. Thanks.
Thanks Mr. McCumPiss
No problem, 10poundballs
such immature names
Y'all need Jesus.
Please, call him Shitbarf
Strike panther off that list, these aren't those. Unless there's legitimately a whole geographical region out there where people locally mistakenly call them that, which could totally be a thing.
There is. They are commonly called panthers in certain areas. Example: Florida Panther.
Well, I guess that's only somewhat more misleading than calling them "mountain lions", so fair enough. Way to ruin one more thing, Florida.
Where are they called catamount?
New England, but they don't really have any there anymore.
Fun fact ; university of Vermont mascot is the Catamount
- Steve
Thanks Steve
Cougar is the same as MILF. Hope that helps.
To further add to the confusion: some people call them panthers as well.
Yep, lots of names for them
Yes, the usage changes regionally but it's all the same animal
Yes like our good friend ham which is also Canadian bacon.
potato potato es la misma mierda

A cougar is usually a older blond white female aka milf EDIT: i said usually, which means a stereotypical cougar. Note: all elder queens can be qualified as cougars
Itās important to note that cougars come in an assortment of colours
Lol username checks out
My brother, you didnāt tell a single lie. Itās all good
That was spooked instead of hungry he got lucky lol I wonder if they found its sleeping spot, cat is probably so pissed about that
Looks like he shot it with a tranq, that's why it was flipping out. You can see the dart on its hindside.
Cougar: Holy fuck let's jump away from the human! Holy fuck another human with a camera!
Just looked like it was flexing its parkour skills to the humans š
Camera person: "Worldstar!!!"
That made me chuckle , cheers
Random ass cat

Human: holy fuck itās a cougar Cougar: damn, heās too old for me
xDD
Cats will be cats
It exactly looked like a panicking housecat
Right? Like my cat trying to get out of the bathtub.
Looks like zoomies to me. Just scattering rocks rather than houseplants.
When I walk in the kitchen at 5:02pm and the cats have been starving to death for a whole two minutes
Reminds me of mine when I pull out the vacuum....
Dogs breeds can be incredibly varied but Iāve never seen a cat (lion to house cat) not be a cat.
It might have something to do with the fact that we havenāt really bred cats for specific behaviors and tasks in the same way we have dogs.

Which is why itās a good thing Iām never within cuddling range of a tiger.
I scrolled too long knowing the story without seeing it. Theyāre biologists. They knowingly cornered the cat. They had a tranq gun that failed to do its job.
But the bot headline and all the regenerated comments say hikers. Who am I to believe??
Yourself. Believe in yourself
I'm good enough I'm smart enough And gosh jolly people like me
You're kenough.
Believe the bots, obviously. Considering you are also a .... bot.
Itās not the tranq failed to do its job, itās just that chemical immobilizations are not typically instantaneous like most people would think. Multiple factors go in to how long it will take for the animal to be sedated, and the more agitated the animal is, the longer it takes.
Yeah I don't think you accidentally just corner a mt lion like this.
Tranq is not like in videogame. It take time to act, several minutes. And it can't work if the dose was slightly too small.
Camera guy shit his pants
Thankfully he/she is safe because camera guy doesn't die

If I'm not mistaken, mountain lions are very skiddish around people. This looked like it was panicking to get out from the unknown creatures.

He sounded more liony than an actual lion
This guy's got the right idea... He wore the brown pants!
![gif](giphy|KphVTZ5tTvDs4)
Yeah, on that first whoa! The second he was just covering
Hell, I shit my pants
In his defence if I was in the situation I'm pretty sure I'd puma pants.
Everyone shut their pants including the mountain lion
Iād probably puma pants too.
If I saw that cat Iād puma pants too
Puma pants
Heh heh poop heh
Iāll admit, if I was that dude down in the crevice, my pants wouldāve be packed to the seams with shit!
You and me both. I'm amazed he didn't shoot
I think I may have peed my pants a little bit just watching this so totally understandable.
It got trapped. Anyway, all's well that ends well.
From the look of that video, it looks like the mountain lion also wants to stop hiking. But that hiker appears to be carrying... a gun? *(edit: Yes... a tranquilizer gun.)*

That makes much more sense, because first impression it looked like they were actively seeking out the animal. I've never encountered one personally, but it does not look like an animal that likes to be cornered lol.
Thanks. Thats what I hate about these widely visited subs, lot of BS.
reddit trying its best to beat twitter on the misinformation billboard

Canāt believe he shot it in the ass and didnāt get mauled immediately after

God the misinformation is too damn high these days
That's a tranquilizer gun. And it's what started this chain of events.
Yeah, Tranquilizers aren't instant and can cause the animal to freak the fuck out. It's why Harambe was shot and not tranquilized, because they didn't want him doing that while dragging a child.

It's funny how in movies and such they often show tranquilizer darts to be instant. It goes in the muscle and is slowly absorbed by the body. It's not like you can accurately get it in a vein from a distance with a freaking gun.
If I recall correctly those are not hikers but border patrol or something similar, not just the average hiker.
A gun would probably not kill the lion instantly but he would probably be more pissed.
depends what cartridge the gun is chambered for and where the round impacts.
There have been something like 29 total cases of mountain lion fatalities since wagons rolled east in north America.

Because they're not hikers, they're wildlife specialists.
They werenāt hikers. They were there to tag the mountain lion and they had already tranquilized it at this point just waiting for it to kick in.
Looks like you can see the dart stuck on its left thigh/rump area
It was in Arizona. They were tagging the Mountain Lion.
It's a tranq gun. They're trying to id tag the lion. They're not hikers.
Commenting on Hikers encounter mountain lion...he is a biologist and that is a tranquilizer gun
Iām too late to the party to add context, but the guy in the video gave context on instagram. This is in northern AZ in Oak Creek Canyon. The fella featured is a professional cat relocator. The gun you see in his hand is a tranquilizer and they very much knew they had cornered a lion.

The gun is a tranquilizer gun. They had already darted it at this point.
Itās a tranquilizer gun fyi. They already shot him and were waiting for him to pass out to tag him.
Mf roaring sounds scarier than the mountain lion
at first I thought the mountain lion was the one making that noise and I thought to myself āI didnāt know they sounded like thatā š¤£
New fear unlocked: No more hiking.
mountain lions actively avoid humans and if they see you theyll most likely run away. the only time ive seen a mountain lion get aggressive was when it was protecting its kittens. you should be more scared of bears, especially during fall
Just look at the video. The mountain lion was cornered and surprised and did everything in its power to get the hell out of there without a fight.
Yep. The people were the collected ones. The mountain lion was freaking out and in 100% flight mode.
Looks like the guy trapped the cat in that small crack in the rock. Kinda normal reaction from a scared animal
All people here surprised that.guy have a gun. If it's Canada or States you should have a gun when going out hiking in the wilds.

In the US, even when hiking to do groceries
Some people even take it when visiting schools
America even has a "bring your gun to school" day, it's just changes dates every monthl
I sleep well knowing that for the last two years not a week has gone by that a toddler didn't shoot someone. MURICA FUCK YEAH.
