A man, who was venturing along a hiking trail in Utah, came across a large cat predator, which followed and tracked him for 6 terrifying minutes.

Kyle Burgess posted a complete video of the terrifying encounter, which took place on Slate Canyon Trail. The images show him meeting some cougar cubs along the way. He then came face to face with their mother, who had a defiant and very protective attitude.

As soon as he realizes that the puma is following his tracks, the man begins to back away slowly, trying not to scare the cat or make it jump. Even so, it pounced on him several times.

Burgess tried different methods to scare him off and luckily, in the end, he succeeded.

According to Burgess, who posted the video on Instagram, the whole stressful adventure began when he encountered what he thought were mountain lions.

However, these were mountain lion cubs.

“It turned out that they were cougar cubs and their mother was not happy to see me. She followed me for six minutes, acting very aggressive, while I walked on my back,” – said Burgess.

Of course, he was happy to be alive, with a viral video and with respect for nature even more than ever.
