Mountain Lion (Cougar) Swimming to Beach : Very Rare Video

[positivencouragement]

Wow, beautiful animal. Thank-you for posting. I am concerned re: allowed sports hunting of courgars, inhumane and is not effective control of populations, or deterent for public safety. Public education most effective and although debatable but much more humane sterilzation of some females, as done w/ Kangaroos and koalas as form of wildlife management in Aust, much more humane option to, killing anything.

This is the only video of a cougar i have ever seen swimming. Send it in to nationalgeographic and hopefully they give you money for it

WHATS THE NAME OF THIS SONG?

[MarineHarvestCanada]

@MsChorong Actually, the song doesn't have a name. One of our employees wrote the jingle specifically for this video. Nice eh?

Not entirely uncommon for cougars to swim between the islands along the coast of B.C. Pretty cool to see it and get film of it though!

[numbernineinc]

@edwardnewmoon999  yeah because thats what cougars do, they eat people. /sarcasm #peoplethesedays

[ash18001]

@numbernineinc No they don't they attacked people when you are invading it terirrory.

[numbernineinc]

@ash18001 did you notice the '/sarcasm' in that comment? It was pretty clear

[ash18001]

[Urdalibertine]

@a7x3186

More like a mutual relationship then a pet master one but it is possible.

I was sitting at the edge of a glacial pool outside of Banff just going over my field notes when a big girl crawled out of the water 15 feet away from me. It shook me for a moment, they swim as quietly as they stalk.

This is an awesome catch...

[Metalhaid]

Now we need to fear them in water as well as on land. J/K Mtn lions are one of my favorite animals--what a great video! Thanks for posting.
