You Will Need
- Alertness
- Composure
-
Step 1
Be alert
Be alert at all times, especially when in dense cover. The best way to survive a cougar attack is to avoid one in the first place.
-
Step 2
Stay in groups
Stay in groups when in cougar territory. Lone individuals are much more at risk.
-
Step 3
Remain calm
Remain calm if you are spotted. Panic may send the cougar into a frenzy.
-
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.
-
Step 4
Look big
Stand up and spread your arms. Making yourself look bigger and more imposing might frighten the cat away.
-
Step 5
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.
-
Step 6
Back away slowly
Back away slowly without letting the cougar out of your sight.
-
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!
-
Step 7
Check for aggression
Check for signs of aggression, like advancing movement, bared teeth, a fixed stare, or crouching, as if to pounce.
-
Step 8
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.
-
Step 9
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.
-
Step 10
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.
-
Fact
The cougar can jump as high as 18 feet from a sitting position.
