A man in Utah faced a terrifying ordeal after stumbling into a mountain lion family, only for the mother cougar to stalk him for six minutes as he captured the terrifying scene on video.
Kyle Burgess, 26, was running near his home along the Slate Canyon trail near Provo when he encountered a group of wild kittens
Believing that these were bobcat cubs – a common sight in the area – Burgess began recording the small creatures. Moments later, their mother appeared and he realized that these were mountain lion cubs and their extremely protective mother.
Burgess was then thrust into possibly the scariest moment of his life as the mature female mountain lion began to charge at him.
His fear was obvious based on the audio from the scary encounter, where he can be heard screaming at the mountain lion as it stalked him through the tree-lined, rocky path.
“No! No! I’m big and scary! Go away!" Burgess yelled.
