Cougar Stalks Hiker in Alarming Six Minute Video

The man stumbled across the cougar's cubs, and she went began stalking him as he quickly retreated down a trail.

Terrifying video shows a Utah hiker being stalked by a mountain lion after the man stumbled on her cubs.

"Oh, f--k!" Kyle Burgess says on the camera footage as he realizes the wild mother cat is starting to follow him and he begins to film her while trying to hurry back down a trail in Slate Canyon near Provo on Saturday, according to local KUTV.

Breathing heavily -- while futilely trying to scare the cougar with weak roars -- Burgess stumbles along the gravel path shouting at the cat, "Please go away!

"I'm big and scary!" the man says -- as the cat raises itself on its hind legs at times and bares its teeth and claws at him.

"You're a good little kitty," Burgess says -- before muttering again, "Holy sh-t! Holy sh-t!

"Where's my gun?’" he adds in exasperation. "OK, this is where I f--king die."

After six long minutes, the cougar did decide she had shooed him off enough and broke off the pursuit.

Someone did a parody video. I'm not sure it's worth watching.
