SAN JOSE, CA -- A San Jose homeowner captured a mountain lion in front of his home with a surveillance camera Tuesday morning.
After the motion detector alarm on his surveillance camera went off, David Tang reviewed his video and saw the animal standing on his car.
"People walk around here at night time and walk with their dogs, so it's dangerous for the people if they don't know," Tang said.

The young learn how, and what, to hunt from watching the female. Once the females familiar with guns died off, cougar started eating humans.

A killed cougar doesn’t teach any cubs anything
It’s Steve French.
There’s a reason they make sound suppresors. :-)

It seems to me that people who jog in isolated areas where cougar encounters are possible should bring some kind of weapon along, whether it’s an Arkansas toothpick or a gun.
You do not need a kitty pool of antifreeze to kill an animal.
I had a dog get sick from about 2 licks of 50/50 antifreeze.
Not a pretty way to go.

Neither is being eaten alive by a cougar.

I guess they just didn't have the right surveillance camera. Wouldn't have needed all the men, if they'd have had the right camera.
A Mountain Lion is the least of the animals you need to worry about out there.
Where I grew up you saw mountain lions all the time as big as a big dog. Sometimes they would be sitting in front of your house when you drove up. Hiking as kids we saw them all the time. No one freaked out or called the cops. You just wait until they leave.
“A killed cougar doesn’t teach any cubs anything”
Not correct - consider the following scenario. The young predators, if old enough to survive remember what killed their mother.
They then avoid humans and survive to reproduce, and their human avoidance behavior is learned by their offspring observing and mimicing what they see done by the female. Thus, it can be said that a dead cougar can teach their offspring.
I guess it's all a matter of perspective...
Had a beautiful gold cougar xr7 with a white convertible top, loved that ride
Especially when it puckers the metal...
Finding this is when you need to set up a camera:
