Having these two species together, both in the same tree is one of those once-in-a-lifetime things. Even if you are chasing them with hounds.
Black bears and mountain lions are two of the most iconic predators in North America. Both of these animals are known for their impressive size and strength, as well as their ability to stay away from people without ever being noticed.
Black bears are found throughout North America and weigh up to 600 pounds, with males typically being larger than females. Black bears are omnivores, eating a wide variety of foods, including berries, nuts, roots, and insects.
This video shows a cougar in a tree, staring up at the black bear above him as hounds bark at the bottom of the tree.
The cougar hisses at the black bear but realizes a fight between the two of them in a tree is probably not the best idea.
