An American man named Kyle Burgess was on a hike in Slate Canyon Park in Utah on Saturday when he found what looked to be four kittens near a trail. Burgess decided to take them back with the smartphone, but soon after a puma has come out of the woods. Burgess, who is 26, at that point, without stopping filming, began to walk backwards to escape the puma.
For six minutes Burgess recorded a video which she then posted on the Internet and was viewed more than three million times. During the video, Burgess is heard cursing numerous times and begging the cougar to return to take care of her cubs. Burgess during the video admits that he is scared when the puma tries to attack him, and tries to convince the animal to let him go, also calling him a “kitten”.
Scott Root, the head of the Utah Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Conservation Service, was promptly notified of the meeting Saturday night and a team was dispatched the next morning to make sure the puma and its cubs weren’t any closer. to the trail. Root said in his 30-year career he doesn’t remember a fatal attack by a puma on men in the state of Utah.
