Not the best idea to be there alone...mother cougars are extreamly dangerous when you are around kits...not to mention there is food nearby...all togther just not a good situation to be in
yep clearly the cat would win.. but the cat didnt see it worthy of any risk of injury with no gain. Put a rabit or cub in the mix and I'm sure you will see a very different result. The Video was great to see but saddened me a little to see how these beautiful animals were so accustomed to the bus and cars driving by .. (reflection)
Haha great video it was funny when the coyotes started to leave and the lion just looks over at you like..' now, you die.' And ur just like...' backing it up... backing it up...' lol
Stupid close. The moment was enchanting. Kind of intoxicating. Not smart at all. But magical. If it happened today I might have hit the road, pronto. But, maybe not......
The Coyotes are probably life-mates. The cougar has got to know that she doesn't have a chance against two, maybe one. She has to live in order for her cubs to live. That's why she's probably not going after the Coyotes.
@Johnhoulgate She could most likely kill them both, but at a risk of being hurt and then her cubs would starve. I would be willing to be with no cubs she would stand her ground.
@Johnhoulgate You've got to be joking, a cougar can literally kill a coyote with a single, solidly landed swipe. Cougars and coyotes are so mismatched it isn't funny, even two one one the coyotes have pretty much no shot. It's all risk vs. reward here, The cougar isn't going to risk getting injured & infected over some territory dispute with a couple coyotes. Throw a kill in there and the coyotes wouldn't have pressed the issue, they KNOW they are grossly outmatched if the chips are down.
i read that mt lions are known to stalk thier prey for up to a whole day sometimes before they attack,,very ineresting,,and good video,i been approched by mt lions and lyx before ,,they are not bad animlas they are very nice beauitiuful animals and they are the way they are cuase thats the way god made them ,,and peopel need to stop hurting or hunting or chasing away such an amazing creature mt lion..
The poor animal is highly stressed, waiting for them to go away and they started a conversation... Don't tell me then it was the fault of the cougar if it attacked them.
ahh i recognize. the lion's atop the backboard at the tennis court. have played there many times. looks like they've dismantled the fence. pretty close to lots of consumers and cars. tourists come here, run over the animals, and throw out their trash to attract more. pretty good footage. not safe for animals to be so close to those roads. the hotel's only about 200 yards from there.
the variety of coyotl in the west is large. desert dogs are sleeker and don't usually have such a fluffy winter coat. have seen a couple male coyotl here near yosemite that were wolf size. not lately tho as they've pretty much been exterminated. used to see them eveyday, hear them every night. the extinction of wildlife around here has been humbling and sad. too quiet now with the coyotl and thrasher gone. and so many others. consumers suck
I was 21 in Wyoming hunting, and I had shot my fill for the day. My buck took a lung shot and I followed the blood trail which I found bubbled in. I followed the blood trail to a thicket covered in thorns, and I looked into his narrow passage and noticed drag marks. I went in to get my buck, and retrieve my arrow, but I got a feeling something was wrong. Crawled in and witnessed A mountain lion feasting on my kill. It looked me dead in the eyes, I knew I would have died so I did what I had to.
I'd rather have them cayotes around than that big cat around people......if this was a female it was probably the one that snatched a dog from its owner while on leash at fish camp area last summer.
This is amazing video. Were you on vacation? I live nearby & go hiking frequently & as yet have not run into these beautiful creatures. I don't know if you've been back but they have posted signs to be watchful & what to do if you encounter them.
looks like a stand off for sure.. lol.. I wouldnt run, cuz that mountain lion could catch u and pounce u out quick and then they would be fighting over whos eating u.. lol..
Hey were do you live in Ahwahnee i live in mariposa so i mean this is like a wow and i think the only reason that you might be still standing there is cause the Coyote And the reason why she in your words got treed is because she most likly had no intent to fight because there was none needed.
While a coyote or two aren't really dangerous, hungry enough groups will attack basically anything. Mountain lions which are more solitary tend to attack humans as well if hungry. And they can be more dangerous. No wonder hes so nervous. I'd be running for my life
Wow I almost cried when i heard coyotes howling and mistook it for a mountain lion yelp. I was terrified that night. Funny how it cane down to what seems to be a law that dog chases cat
You have it all wrong, the mountain lion is searching for the coyote pups.... Listen to the coyote yip and bark... She is trying to sound bigger than she is....
TRULY AMAZING ANIMAL ITS TO BAD THERE ALMOST ALL GONE IN LA COUNTY AND THERE NOT AS BIG AS THEY USE TO BE THESE CREATURES ARE SUPPOSE TO REACH 150 POUNDS
You are one Brave man! This is amazing footage of a Yosemite mountain lion, let alone witnessing coyotes that are heard Howling/Barking. It is very rare to encounter a mountain lion in Yosemite. It's unbelievable that you maintained composure and kept a steady hand while capturing this natural wonder! You deserve a medal for bravery!!
@VTwinty 1) even a mountain lion? Mountain lions are GREAT hunters. They even eat small bears.
2) Coyotes in groups that are hungry enough will go against all kinds of things. While wolves don't really mess with humans, coyotes will even go after humans when they are overpopulated and starving. When I lived on Camp Pendleton, they attacked kids in their homes at night through screen doors. Our game warden would have to come out in the middle of the night and introduce dozens to shotgun slugs.
@Terribleallister Yup any animal will attack a human me and my friend were being stalked by a wild Red Fox the other day. Not sure if it was rabid it didn't look aggressive and there was no foam from the mouth it kept its distance from us though, My only conclusion is it thought we had food or it used to be someones pet since I hear Foxes can be kept as pets under certain conditions. it disappeared when we went inside my house it was kinda creepy lol. Do you know why a Fox would follow us?
@TheCajunGambit1 Naw, I don't. And that is very strange because foxes are usually one of the animals that avoids people the most. It takes skill to track them.
But, yes. Any wild animal can be unpredictable. As I said coyotes will definitely go after people if hungry enough, and in Siberia, the squirrels are so hungry that it is regularly recorded that they attack dogs in small groups. I absolutely love nature, but most of what you hear from hippies on the wild is untrue. Nature is brutal.
@Terribleallister Did you hear the story of that guy in Canada who was a student he apparently got eaten by a pack of Wolves. But many people seem to blame it was an aggressive Black Bear that killed him but many coroners and scientists say it was a wolf pack. That be freaky just wandering the wilderness like that especially when they say the wolves and black bears are aggressive in that area.
well new wave......you might change your thinking when a big cat knocks you down at 30 mph rips your face off,eats your throat out then drags you under a tree and begins dissecting YOU from the groin, up///////get some reality experience......take a ride into the REAL WORLD....people like you live in a bubble....cougars are dangerous....dont you believe me? you think that cat would ask your permission to KILL you? your unreal !
i believe ur right about the mountain lion but i think tht the coyotes are more interested in taking her kill then killing her cubs because coyotes hav good senses of smell so thy probably already smelled the cubs but wanted the meal
Great vid. I immediately thought "Why did this guy film this event up so close? "However, I do understand that the conflict was between the coyotes & the mountain lion and I probably would have captured the event to, given the circumstance. Scary but exciting all the while ! Thanks again for posting, I thoroughly enjoyed this!
The lion is not at all afraid of the coyote. He does not want to be bothered, but he is not afraid. The coyote does not want the lion around, but the coyote is clearly afraid of the lion, as it should be.
so can you really get so close to both without them attacking you? or was it just that they didnt see you as a threat? Great vid man, must hav been an incredible experience!
curiously this mother lion made almost no sound. nothing like you describe. clearly her intention was simply to distract the coyotes from wherever she hid her cubs.
I had the same dual experience that you did, both terrified and amazed. something about the moment led me to suspend reasonable judgment and not get the heck out of the area.
@Perazul5 This is one of the best videos I've seen on YouTube. You must have balls the size of watermelons to stand that close while filming.Wish I could give it 10 stars !! Thanks for posting. By the way."Sadly,when my wife......" What ?
Amazing footage! I was camping at Porcupine Flat on 8/24 and 8/25 2010 and both nights I heard coyotesand a mountain lion go at it! The cougar's scream was blood-curling, made my wife's and my hair stand on end. It's the most scariest and yet most awesome sound I've heard in Yosemite.
Actually never saw the lion cubs. Certain that the mother would not be as patient with my foolish proximity to her if her cubs were anywhere near. I learned of the story from a Ranger that asked for a copy of my tape, so he could verify to his boss that they needed to post danger signs in Yosemite Valley. This ranger was the one that informed me that the mountain lion had killed a doe, mother of two infants, in the Ahwahnee Meadow around three am the night before. Sadly, when my wife ......
@Perazul5 Humans do cause a lot of the issues; which, as a conservationist, concern me and others like me. We are at the top of the food chain, we are allowed to benefit from our position.
"To waste, to destroy our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed." - Theodore Roosevelt
Very cool ... did you walk past the cubs feeding on the deer? I wouldn't want to get between them and the mama. I don't think the mama felt much of a threat from the coyotes ... walking pretty cool and casual.
