The best way to survive a cougar attack is to avoid one in the first place.

]]> 83305 2 0 Step Stay in groups Stay in groups when in cougar territory. Lone individuals are much more at risk.

]]> 83306 3 0 Step Remain calm Remain calm if you are spotted. Panic may send the cougar into a frenzy.

]]> 83307 4 0 Tip Don’t ever try to run away—the slender, agile body of the cougar can propel it up to 35 miles per hour, far faster than an Olympic sprinter.

]]> 83308 5 0 Step Look big Stand up and spread your arms. Making yourself look bigger and more imposing might frighten the cat away.

]]> 83309 6 0 Step Maintain eye contact Maintain eye contact and do not turn your back—this may seem counterintuitive, but you don’t want the cougar to get the drop on you.

]]> 83310 7 0 Step Back away slowly Back away slowly without letting the cougar out of your sight.

]]> 83311 8 0 Tip Do not approach or entice the cougar! While it may be exciting to see one in its natural habitat, offering food or drink or trying to get a picture with it may provoke an attack!

]]> 83312 9 0 Step Check for aggression Check for signs of aggression, like advancing movement, bared teeth, a fixed stare, or crouching, as if to pounce.

]]> 83313 10 0 Step Become more assertive Become more assertive if the cougar begins to move in on you—shout, wave, throw things, and try to get to higher ground.

]]> 83314 11 0 Step Fight back If she pounces, you have no choice but to fight back. Try to stay on your feet and be sure to protect your head and neck.

]]> 83315 12 0 Step Don’t play dead Whatever you do, don’t play dead—this will likely cause the cougar to drag you to a private area and have its way with you.

]]> 83316 13 0 Fact The cougar can jump as high as 18 feet from a sitting position.
