Puma, also known as American golden cat, mountain lion, is a larger cat.

They are well-proportioned, with slender limbs, brown-gray fur, well-developed canine teeth, and sharp fingers and claws. They live in various complex terrains all year round, and are very good at climbing, jumping, sneaking and ambush.

The one in front of me is about half a meter tall and looks a bit skinny.It has a straight face, a wide snout and short ears, and two black clouds above its yellow eyes, like two raven feathers and two little black suns.

One wave just flattened and another wave rose again. The audience in front of the screen were all worried about their favorite player. Those with hunting certificates wished they could rush into the Rocky Mountains with their shotguns to help her.

It's a pity that they couldn't do anything, they could only watch the cougar crouching quietly by the big tree, sticking out its tongue and licking one side of its cheek.

It's hungry.

Jennifer picked up the message immediately.

This doesn't make sense. Although the golden cat is a natural hunter, it has a gentle temperament compared to many carnivores. Even if it is hungry, it will not attack humans easily.

She was puzzled, but the cougar didn't give her more opportunities to observe.

A few seconds later, the beast rubbed its front paws on the ground, raised its neck, stared at the prey with its eyes that could be seen clearly at night, and swayed its long tail behind it, showing a clear attack posture.

No matter what made this big cat take the risk, the shoulders that were constantly pressing down and the nose that was sniffing at this moment revealed a message: today it is determined to gain something.

Jennifer shook off distracting thoughts, gripped the outdoor knife tightly, and drew strength from the cold knife.

She had dealt with this kind of big cats in the heyday of her previous life, and she knew that after a long period of lurking, they would gallop at full speed to catch up with their prey, and use their sharp canines that could crush bones and flesh to complete a one-hit kill. They were extremely agile, extremely dangerous.

Encountering a cougar outdoors, like any predator, should never be outdone, let alone turn and run.Your best bet is to confront them, intimidate them with noise or size, and then wait for them to retreat, or face a life-or-death fight.

Numerous cases have shown that as long as humans show enough aggressiveness in battle, predators are likely to choose to save themselves and give up hunting.

In some areas with strong folk customs, some people even desperately resisted in the fight and caused fatal injuries to the mountain lion. Some used fingers to blind their eyes, cut their throats with knives, and strangled their necks with bare hands.

But if you fight, you will be injured. A brown bear has already made her "missing arms and legs". If you fight again, you may have to pay a heavier price. Of course, it is best to avoid it.

Jennifer sat up straight with difficulty.

The cougar came to sneak attack when Jacob went fishing by the river, which shows that it didn't want to confront the two humans head-on.The river bank is not far from the camp, as long as you persist for a while, you can get rescued.

Thinking of this, she calmed down a bit, her eyes revealed a fierce look, and she yelled at her vigilant opponent.

"Go away!"

"Go away, get out of here!"

The threatening sound broke the silence of the mountain forest, resonating with a resounding echo.Even Jennifer herself was taken aback by the sudden burst of voice from this body, not to mention the cougar who was always on the verge of attacking.

The big brown cat was startled, raised its ears vigilantly, jumped behind another tree, curled up its lips, exposed its teeth knife, first breathed hard, and then let out a loud and sharp warning sound.

Jennifer keenly noticed that one of the forelegs seemed to be inconvenient when it jumped.

The strange cry of a goose resounded through the entire forest.

The birds chirping that were still in the distance just now disappeared instantly, as if they sensed the approaching danger.The porcupines near the camp turned their backs on the spot and erected their spikes, rubbing against each other and making rustling noises.

These spikes can teach any animal a lesson it will never forget.Mammals such as lions, leopards, and hounds often poke their faces into sieves during predation. Reptiles with low IQs often cause tragedies by trying to eat porcupines raw. Destroyed.

Ordinary porcupines can stand still and slam left and right. It is said that some species can even throw out spikes by swinging their bodies.

Is this okay?

The cougar doesn't even want to look at it.

A man and a cat confront each other in the spring forest.

Jennifer whipped the tree trunk with the back of the outdoor knife, and the yelling in her mouth didn't stop for a moment.

At first, this kind of battle scared the big cat to jump back and forth in the forest, but the good times didn’t last long. It raised its head by the last tree and sniffed the message from the wind, then rolled its muscles and exerted force on its hind paws. Suddenly flew towards here.

"Damn it!"

She cursed lowly, gritted her teeth and rolled to the side to avoid the first attack. The broken part of her left arm and the injured thigh hit the ground, trembling with pain.

The cougar was clearly annoyed at failing to catch its injured prey.

It landed lightly, relying on the good balance of cats, it changed its direction on the spot with a light push of its four paws, and pounced again with almost no pause.

The long canines were getting closer and closer in Jennifer's sight, glowing with a cold luster, and a fishy smell unique to predators flooded into the nostrils along with the blown wind.

At this very moment, she was kneeling on the ground in a dangerous position, her legs were momentarily weak and unable to support her body.

In a thousandth of a second, Jennifer calmly made a choice, blocking her left hand bound by stuffing, branches and bark in front of her.

The inertia of felines is to open their mouths to grab something. The cougar knew that it would not be able to bite the neck of its prey this time, but it still habitually grabbed the prey's arm in its mouth.

But it doesn't know that's exactly what Jennifer wants to see.

The sharp canine teeth penetrated deeply into the layers of padding, barely touching the bottom of the jacket. She took the opportunity to send her left arm in the direction of the mountain lion, and several crooked branches that were used to fix it suddenly swiped inward and stuck firmly in the big hole. After the cat's upper and lower canine teeth.

These branches are firmly tied with tough straps, and they will not be able to come out for a while.

The principle of the light bulb does not deceive me, everything that is eaten into the mouth is easy to go in and difficult to come out!

The cougar shook its head angrily, but Jennifer didn't give it another chance and slashed at it with the outdoor knife.

The fur protection of mountain lions and brown bears is not at the same level at all. The heavy back of the knife presses the blade that can break the hair, and every blow can leave deep scars on its body.

The puma groaned in pain, clenched its teeth more and more fiercely, stretched out its front paws and stepped forward.The attack was more aggressive on the right side, and the left side was hardly attacked.

Where would Jennifer give it a chance to get its stomach.

She bent her right knee to block the claws, and took advantage of the time when the other party was moving more and showing more flaws, she retracted the outdoor knife in her hand, stuck it under her left arm, stretched towards its neck at an incredible speed, and brushed past it horizontally .

Wild and tough.

Suffering this fatal trauma, instead of being paralyzed immediately, the cougar fell into a more ferocious dying struggle.Its canthus are tearing apart, its four claws are scratching, and its fangs are constantly cutting through the filling.

The twigs kept making crisp and snapping sounds in its mouth, and as the obstacles were shattered, the dental knife finally completed its mission, piercing through the stuffing and clothing and piercing into the flesh.

Jennifer sneered.

If once is not enough, twice, three times, countless times!

Frantically, she sliced ​​at the cougar's neck, nearly severing most of its neck in half, and flung the weakening beast aside.

The big brown cat suddenly fell to the ground, scratched with its fingers and claws, and flicked its hind legs reflexively.

After a few clicks, it stopped moving.

***

By the time Jacob returned, everything had been settled.

He heard the cry by the river and Hugh hurried back. The journey took only a few minutes, but the battle was over.He walked cautiously to the middle of the camp, but saw a bloody beast lying on the ground, and Jennifer was sitting beside it with her head down, her expression unclear.

"It...is it dead?" he asked.Feeling the stupidity of the question, he quickly remedied, "Are you hurt, Jennifer? Why don't you talk?"

Could it be that he was badly injured?

Mr. Rodriguez was very worried for his fellow comrades.

After a long time, he heard Jennifer's answer: "It's dead, I'm fine, just a little injury."

Anyone who changed it might have been showing off that she could kill a fierce beast alone when she was seriously injured, but not only did she not show off, but her tone was very strange, with a sense of regret and hatred that could not be ignored.

Jacob walked over and sat down without speaking.

After a while, Jennifer touched the belly of the mountain lion with her hand, and said softly: "It is pregnant with cubs, I don't know... I can't save these little things."

It turned out to be so, it was so!

Jacob looked at the corpse in disbelief, and comforted him, "If you didn't kill it, you might be the one who died now."

"I'm not for this, I'm for—see for yourself."

Jennifer brushed aside the fur and pointed to the cougar's right front leg.

The base of the big cat's leg was deeply wrapped with a rubber cord, strangling the whole leg into a twisted appearance.It must have used its teeth to bite the unknown object from time to time, and sometimes kicked with its hind legs, leaving layer after layer of shocking scars near the rubber ring.

The rubber band got stuck in its flesh, making it impossible to hunt easily like other jaguars.It needs energy for itself, and it needs more energy to feed its cubs. It is simply not enough to eat small animals and animal carcasses for a living, so it is so thin.

For the cougar, Jennifer is its last stand.

A severely injured human can be said to be an excellent hunting target. If food is no longer available, then it and its children are likely to die of starvation.

Unfortunately, it still failed to complete this task in the end.

Jacob sighed, and said hesitantly, "Maybe you can cut the cub out to see if it can be saved..."

He said that, knowing in fact that these cubs might not be fully developed at all.The puma calving season is late spring and early summer, and it has only been one or two months since spring started.

Sure enough, Jennifer vetoed it indifferently: "Let them go with their mother."

"But they—" Jacob retorted subconsciously, and stopped again.He didn't know what to say, and finally he could only stumble and say, "Maybe the program team can send someone to rescue these cubs."

Jennifer said: "By the time they arrive, it will be too late."

Jacob couldn't help but said dryly: "Don't be sad."

Jennifer nodded.

When the survivor walked into the woods, she was part of the natural world. Today, if the beast bit her throat with one blow, she would not feel anything.The cougar attacked to survive, and she fought to survive, it's all part of the law of nature.

Jennifer didn't regret killing the beast, she just felt aggrieved by seeing this scene.

The remnants left by humans are encroaching on the living areas of animals. Year after year, the world has seen too many sharks whose fins were caught in fishing nets and drowned alive, seals whose necks were cut by ropes and slowly dying, wrapped in oil The frigate bird whose body is unable to fly, the coyote whose mouth was covered with canned food so that it starved to death, the deer who ate too many plastic bags and was unable to recover, and now even the mountain lion living in the mountains and forests cannot escape.

If not hopeless, why this.

Jennifer closed her eyes and stroked the big cat's cheek.

If there was a chance in the future, she thought, at all costs, someone had to do something.
