  • Mountain lion biologist Mark Elbroch rates nine big-cat attacks in movies for realism. Elbroch breaks down tiger attacks and hunting behavior in "RRR" (2022), with N. T. Rama Rao Jr.; "The Hangover" (2009), featuring Bradley Cooper; and "Life of Pi" (2012). He looks at lion attacks in "The Lion King" (2019), with James Earl Jones, Donald Glover, and Beyoncé; and "Beast" (2022), starring Idris Elba.
    Elbroch explains mountain lion behavior and the accuracy of big-cat sounds in "Me Time" (2022), starring Kevin Hart; "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" (2006), with Will Ferrell; and "The Bear" (1988). He also breaks down the jaguar attack and the reality of having big cats in captivity in "Jungle Cruise" (2021), with Dwayne Johnson.
    Elbroch is the director of the puma program at Panthera and has been studying mountain lions - also called pumas and cougars - for 20 years. He has written and coauthored 10 books on natural history, including "The Cougar Conundrum."

    Honestly, the mere fact that +200kg cats exist still boggles my mind. You know how savage a normal house cat can be. Multiply by 100 and you have a lion or a tiger. The amount of dead you're about to be if that cat attacks you, is beyond most peoples comprehension. Big cats are simply incredible creatures.

      The Maneater of Rudraprayang (leopard with 125 confirmed kill) once took a man right near from his friend. They shared a pipe (smoked tobacco), and when the host gave the pipe to his guest he thought his friend got it, hold it. And the pipe was fall to the floor, the sparks spread on the carpet they sat on. He wanted start arguing with his friend that could be more cautious not to set fire the carpet, but than he realized that his friend was already dead, and the saw the leopard dragged him out through the opened front door. Horrifying scene, for sure. This was in the famous of book of Jim Corbett, titled "Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag".

      Most "wild" animals that are held as pets are in fact bred from capivity and would propably not survive in the wild. They are not "subtracted" from the wild popularity.
      Even more so:
      Many handlers do truely care for the animal and will provide enough space, food and mental stimuly.

Same with servals, ocelots, cheetahs, and other big cats. Bring it up with people and you'll be told you're killing the mood. Meanwhile when these "pet" owners run out of money to care for them or have some kind of accident when their actual wild animal acts like an actual wild animal and they want to ditch them, the big cat either dies or gets dumped at a rescue struggling to keep up with care for all the others that met the same fate.

Patterson (the Val Kilmer character), orig. published in 1907 (and written in the style of the times).

    Huh, I didn't realize there were so many cougar attacks in movies. I live in an area where cougars are pretty common, even found cougar tracks over mine when I went out on a hike once and was on my return trip, and I'm just not scared of them at all. Cougars don't attack humans very much, and even when they do the human pretty much always surprised unless they're a child. They're just really bad at killing humans, and I'm pretty sure they know it. Honestly they tend to just be incredibly shy; 99% of the time if you're in an area with a cougar you won't see them. If you _do_ see them it's usually because they spotted you and are in the process of leaving the area in a hurry, lol.

      Thank you, thank you, thank you. In my experience, mountain lions - aka pumas in the southern Americas - are shy and retiring, and more inclined to run and hide than attack people. In my career as a journalist, there was one case of a mountain lion that jumped on a rider on a horse, and another (unrelated) instance of a cougar trying (and failing) to nab a jogger. In both cases, the cat was a young male in thin condition, on the verge of starvation, likely an inexperienced hunter newly separated from its mom and struggling to fend for itself on its own. A far cry from the savage, marauding beast these ratty movies often make them out to be.

      There's actually a guy in Russia who has a pet cougar named Messi and it literally lives inside the house like a normal pet. It's one of the sweetest, most chill cats I've ever seen.

      Stand still, maintain eye contact, make yourself appear larger than you really are (by holding your arms out, better if you're wearing a jacket and can spread the sleeves out to look like part of your body) and most cats will quietly back off and walk away. "Whatever you do, don't run" is a common refrain in the bush, and with good reason. Cats are opportunistic hunters, and running is a trigger that you may be something worth eating, even if they're not particularly hungry at the time. It's a survival reflex in cats - all cats. Instinctive from birth.

    Wow!! so good to see Dr. Mark here!! I remember first hearing about his tracking work with lion prides throughout Kruger from a professor at Uni. It is essentially his work in Kruger that has inspired myself and a few others to pursue field studies on the lion populations (some of which he mentions briefly at 7:29) particularly throughout Botswana and Tanzania. If you haven't seen or read about his work, definitely check him out. Some amazing field work this man has accomplished, not just with big cats but also wolves.
    Nice to see him bringing factual information and busting a few fabricated myths without completely shading the work of the film industry haha. One that particularly amuses me is film depictions of apex predators making guttural and loud vocalizations (obviously for dramatic effect) as they approach a hunt. The same can be said for dinosaurs as well in some depictions, but the point is, why on earth would a hungry predator with the objective of stealth want to announce its presence?.

    • @jacobcox4565
      @jacobcox4565 Před 8 měsíci +10

      That's because all predators try very hard to avoid getting hurt. The predator thinks "Okay, this one looks really tough and there's a very real chance they could permanently handicap me. I will back off because if I do get hurt, then I won't be able to get food anymore and I'll starve."

  • @windhelmguard5295
    @windhelmguard5295 Před 8 měsíci +16

    one important thing is to note is that predators are looking for victims, not opponents, going confrontational towards big cats is generally advised, with tigers being a notable exception as all you'll accomplish there is to raise your status from prey to hated enemy.
    best way to survive a tiger attack is to bring a friend who's a more enticing target than you, because chances are you don't know that there even is a tiger until one of you is already dead.

    Too bad they didn't include the black jaguar attack from the movie "Apocalypto", which is pretty accurate, from what I read: this species favors a penetrating bite into the skull for the kill, as opposed to going for the throat for many other big cats.

    • @FireAndBlood96

    • @catpoke9557

    10:12 I feel like in the slow-mo the tiger is moving too slow. I remember seeing a slo-mo video of a domestic cat swatting a dog's face, and the cat looked like they were moving at a normal speed while the dog was in slow motion. Cats are terrifyingly fast at striking with their paws.

  • @alexs.1242
    @alexs.1242 Před 8 měsíci +14

    p.s. also Out of Africa (1985, dir. Sidney Pollack) - for me, the lioness charge was both realistic and utterly credible. Wild lions can be relatively disinterested, bored even, when you're in a vehicle, but when you're on foot it's a whole different story. Out of Africa is just a movie - Robert Redford is miscast as the real-life character Denys Finch Hatton, for starters - and completely made up, I get that. That said, I was taken aback by just how realistic that scene with the lioness in Out of Africa really is. The silences for one. Movies as a rule don't do silence well, especially not in action thrillers set in the wilds of Africa.

    • @Cuccos19

    Couple of honourable mentions of you happen to make another one of these videos.
    Apocalypto - There's a pretty decent panther attack. Uses a real panther (which the main actor actually ran in front of!) then switches to a fake one.
    Tiger: An Old Hunters Tale - Amazing CGI! *A lot* of attacks on humans, some on animals.
    Homeward Bound maybe? - There's a scene where a mountain lion chases two dogs, but there's no attack so to speak. But it was a real cat.
    The Ghost and the Darkness - About the man eating lions of T'savo. Again a lot of attacks on humans. A lot of camera angle tricks, but 99% of the shots are with real lions.

    We have cougars around here (BC), but they are usually avoiding human settlements. Full grown humans are generally to large to attack. The young ones and starving ones will sometimes chance going after a person. Sad too, because usually they end up getting shot, even for eating someone's little dog.

    I've seen an impala disappear into the darkness 15m from me, just from the impact of a lioness at full tilt. Crazy how big they are, and the strength! I was on a game drive at night in South Africa, in an open Land-Rover and we came across a whole herd of impala just starting to go manic, lions were on the hunt...and after a few moments the guide swivelled the the spot light to the left, there was a split second when he stopped on an impala, it looked up at us, and then it was gone in a blur...swivel the light a bit to the right and there was the lioness right on top of its prey...all within 15m from where I was sitting in an open topped vehicle...what an experience!

  • @FireAndBlood96
    @FireAndBlood96 Před 8 měsíci +4

    About Beast, I agree with the lethal prognosis haha. The end of the movie shows him in a hospital and apparently he's fine, but there is no god damn way a real person would survive an attack like that. We didn't see the entire clip here, but the lion bites *deep* into the man's torso multiple times (with it's oversized fangs lol) so in real life it would have punctured multiple organs. It ripped up the guys arms and legs, torn blood vessels. So even if they got him to an operating room immediately, which they couldn't because they were in the middle of nowhere, dude would be dead. No way he'd survive.

    One thing I just love about cats in general is their confidence. I think we've all seen the clips of house cats chasing away dogs, bears, gators, what have you. And while they are built for hunting, what really makes them impressive and scary is that defense mentality. It's like they're signaling that even if you can beat them, they're gonna hurt you so bad it's not worth it.
