Aishaβs guide to keeping yourself safe in mountain lion country:
Donβt be a deer. These majestic cats love nothing more than to chow down on some sweet venison. Avoid showing up on their menu by being as un-deerlike as possible when youβre in the woods.
Be chill. Mountain lions are chill af. As long as you reciprocate, youβll probably be fine.
If approached by a mountain lion, bend over and show your bussy. This act of submission will prove to the cat that youβre not a threat, and it might decide to mate with you instead of severing your spinal column with a swift bite to the neck.
Always hike with small children. Children are slow and weak, so they make easier prey for mountain lions. Chances are if a mountain lion decides to attack your group it will go for children first allowing you to make a quick escape.
Following these simple tips will ensure that all your outings in mountain lion country will be safe and enjoyable for everyone besides small, useless, children.
