Comment on Lions are just big cats. They like scratches under the chin and everything.

Also, to add to this, mountain lions are cats that are roughly the size of humans and really aren’t much of a threat to us. I’m not saying you could kill one with your bear hands, and they have been know to kill adult humans if they can get the drop on them, but they really aren’t a huge threat head on. The safety advice for dealing them is to get aggressive, look big, throw rocks and sticks at them, and physically fight them off if they attack, as they’re usually easily driven off. If we had the physiology and relative muscle mass of gorillas, we’d probably kill them pretty easily.
