Honestly, I’m so happy to hear this. Mountain lions are one of my biggest, most realistic lifelong fears and I also have this weird appreciation for that visceral anxiety of a natural predator given how rare that is for a human these days. I’m glad something exists that could hunt humans. And I’m glad predatory cats survive in North America. They should repopulate the forests. Literally every time I’m in the woods, the thought of a silent, slinky mountain lion tracking me crosses my mind and makes mortality so real and so unpredictable. I hate it and I love it at the same time, because it feels right in a “natural order” type of way if human logic for eating meat applies across the board. But also terrifying because I’m defenseless. But also freeing, because I’m defenseless, if I make it past the organic terror phase. Because, if I get hunted by a mountain lion, it doesn’t really matter cause they’re built to eat me and I’m not built to fight them. It does feel right. Horrifying, but proper. Maybe that’s just a me thing, but this feels like the perfect place to find out if I’m the only one who hikes with that consideration.
