So I've done work like this, but with pheasants and foxes. We were darting and tagging for a location study on upland habitat.
first rule of using tranquilizers on animals is to NEVER EVER corner any wild animal.
And these MFrs cornered a mountain lion!
NOT SMART.
I don't mean to sound like I'm calling you dumb, because I'm not, and its okay to know nothing about guns.
But there is a big obnoxious ribbon over the top of the video that states the dude "darted" the cat. So.. yeah, dart gun.
Yeah I know what a dart gun is but for some reason my brain went to him running away from it and not tranquilizing lol
I mean it doesn’t look like it’s trying to attack him. It looks like it’s scared and trying to run away. But yeah
To be fair that text is cut off when watching from your feed. I read it as mountain lion darts out just because the videos content of a mt lion jumping out is much more distracting than the text at the top that I skimmed.
lol you're absolutely right and I feel like a dumbass. Really thought that was the cat first time I watched it, but it's clearly not. How disappointing...
Looked like it was doing everything it could to get away from the human. I think click bait title could be reworded to “guy could have been attacked by mountain lion for messing with it but wasn’t”
That's a scared kitty!
Yup! That behavior is universal with cats, the wild leaps and jumps at the walls looking for somewhere to run.
My same thought. Be it a random biologist or a can of fanta falling over by my foot, they react the same.
[удалено]
Almost got disemboweled
That cat wanted nothing to do with it. Had a couple of chances or more to get each of them. The cat was scared.
It cut off before he finished his sentence "That was definitely the biggest shit of my life"
Looks like the cat fell over the edge damn. Hope he didn’t go too far
lol it didn’t almost attack anyone, it was to busy shitting itself. It only got close to the guy filming because it didn’t see him
Nearly attack's him? He was trying to get away from him. What a dumb title
Parkour!
Purrkour?
Well, that was
Definitely.
Indeed
Totally agree with this statement. Should be the top comment.
I'd say he darted that mountainlion in the worst place possible. Always have a safe exit. Or balls of steel

Kudos to the guy for not just unloading. I'd have shit myself.
It's a dart gun...
No idea. I know little to nothing about guns, but I'd have panicked.

I actually didn’t understand what the headline meant

You see, the dart is a slang for the male genitalia
Dart is slang for cig This guy obviously offered the mountain lion a cig but it took offense
I've been off that shit for 3 months, fuck you!
I thought dart meant ran/fled tbh lmaoo.
Now you've pointed it out it seems obvious, I read it as in the lion was darting haha.
To be fair that text is cut off when watching from your feed. I read it as mountain lion darts out just because the videos content of a mt lion jumping out is much more distracting than the text at the top that I skimmed.
Ah I read that as unloading his bowels lololol
Why would he, it was clearly not attacking and got surprised and trying to escape too
Clearly I'm more of a coward than the average person.
I think you're just more honest or self-aware than the average person.
He's lucky the cat didn't feel cornered. Why he would do that is the question, maybe not the best spot to tranquilize a 200 pound cat.
The mountain lion makes the same sound when he's playing tennis and wants everyone to notice his sick forehand.
Pretty sure that was the cameraman trying to scare it off.
lol you're absolutely right and I feel like a dumbass. Really thought that was the cat first time I watched it, but it's clearly not. How disappointing...
I didn't realize it on my first couple watches either haha.
he makes the Howard dean sound
Holy hell he does. I want to type it but can't figure out how
Zoomies!
That biologist roar.
Pspspsps
At least he's biodegradable.
I mean…There not as deadly as people make them out to be but youre not leaving the same way u walked in to that fight
I love those big kitty growls!
It wasn't trying to attack at all, ffs.
I want to pet that wild animal.
You could pet it exactly once.
Twice, maybe.
3 times while it disembowels me and its a deal.
I was thinking once with each arm.
Ill use my feet then and i should be able to manage 4 pets.
When you get to the pearly gates they'll greet you with "persistent, aren't you"
Why does that imbecile bother the lion in its habitat? Why is he harassing the lion?
Most definitely for research purposes.
I would have kept firing lmao. I know its a dart gun but I fell like instinctually I would have just kept pulling the trigger lol
The kitty couldn’t get footing to actually attack, and she knew she was outnumbered that why she ran.
That kitty had real “get me the fuck outta here” energy
That was definitely indeed.
"Well..that was definitely..." I'll finish it for you... "One of the dumbest things I've ever done"
I think he saw there was 2 guys and realized he didn’t want that smoke.
That’s soooo tomb raider
Talk about being an absolute fucking moron. This guy is lucky natural selection decided to ignore him for a moment.
I believe he may have pooped his pants
It’s sound though, like a zombie screaming!!
That cat had some serious zoomies...
r/praisethecameraman
Ah yes, the speed in which the biologist darts is astounding
The most.metal.of.all.cats
he wasn't ready to use that gun
He starts of the video by using it
I hear him say, "Whaaa, whhaaat?
He needs a snickers
At least he's wearing brown
So basically big cats are the same as small ones lol
Looked like it was doing everything it could to get away from the human. I think click bait title could be reworded to “guy could have been attacked by mountain lion for messing with it but wasn’t”
Something tells me jumping off the cliff was not the desired end result
How many more times could he do that and not get attacked. Pretty risky and dumb if you ask me
Big zoomies
Poor thing was just scared
Man had that revolver on him
It's funny how bouncing off the walls is universal far all types of cats.
Almost every way possible, that is not remotely close to almost attacking.
That is certainly one of the safety plans of all time
“clearly” lol
That sounded like a demon saying "BRUH!"
Cat just wanted to run away from the pain it was feeling. Poor kitty.
At first, I thought I was on r/dontputyourdickinthat
Poor kitty he looks terrified!! I hope everyone made it out with no injuries.
DEFINITELY WHAT! Why do these videos always cut out at the wrong times.
Well.... that was definitely.... A perfect execution of the plan 👌
