“Si vous voyez un Puma, that’s the last thing you will see”
So, ce qu'il faut faire si vous voyez un couguar dans la nature?
Quelque chose que j'ai entendu assez souvent depuis son arrivée au Canada. Sometimes it’s a joke, but don’t be fooled.
Cougars are not going to let you rub their belly. After noticing a couple of sightings in southern BC recently, mainly Whistler and Grouse Mountain, I thought it was time to finally find out some information about what to do if/when you meet a cougar.
As a relative newbie to Canada, I have never experienced an encounter with a cougar. Most of the time we concentrate on bears – but let’s check out what you should do if you meet this big cat.
Que faire si vous voyez un couguar
- Stay calm
- Keep the cougar in view
- Pick up children immediately
- Back away slowly
- Give the cougar a clear way to escape
- Make yourself look as big as possible
- Never run or turn your back on a cougar
- Sudden movement or noise can provoke an attack
Que faire si un couguar vous suit
- Be aggressive
- Maintain eye contact
- Show your teeth
- Make loud noises
- Arm yourself with rocks or sticks
If a cougar attacks
- Fight back
- Act like a threat and not prey
- Use anything you can as a weapon
- Attack the cougar’s face and eyes
NO BIG DEAL! Stay safe! ??
