The man executed every move flawlessly.

While touring the Utah mountains, this young man came upon some adorable infants. He quickly learned those were cubs of a cougar.

In Slate-Canyon, Utah, Kyle Burges encountered his worst dread.He thought the cubs were mountain pouches, but he quickly realized that was not the case.

It was already too late; he would find himself facing their enraged mother in a matter of seconds.

The darkest moments of his life transpired during the next few minutes. The images show the man cautiously backing away while the untamed animal pursued him.

In an attempt to frighten the cougar away, the man began to yell at her. But it is not easy to frighten a wild animal away, particularly if it is a mother.

The traveler eventually succeeded in picking up a stone and hurling it in the direction of the cougar. Unexpectedly, the animal bolted. Fortunately, the traveler was able to get away.

In this extremely risky scenario, he handled everything well. Neither the man nor the animals experienced any negative outcomes.
