Video: Responsible for 126 Attacks, Deadly Predator Caught Swimming in Colorado River

A new video in the swimming world has taken the internet by storm. In a world where animal behavior continues to surprise us, one typical notion has been debunked by an unlikely candidate. Mountain lions, often known as cougars, have emerged as skilled swimmers. With this, they challenge the stereotype of shying away from aquatic adventures.

This shocking video surfaced on Instagram, showcasing a mountain lion navigating the Colorado River. While the few seconds clip captures a remarkable moment of this deadly predator in action, it also sheds light on the lesser-known aquatic abilities of these majestic creatures.

Mountain Lions’ Swimming Feat!

The viral clip posted on Instagram by “@vail4x4” is making waves in the swimming community. The video captures a mountain lion, responsible for 126 attacks confidently swimming across the powerful currents of the Colorado River. What makes this video truly remarkable is the juxtaposition of the fearsome reputation of the mountain lion and his graceful aquatic performance.

Along similar lines, it accompanies the caption, which provides a surprising revelation. It says, “Did you know mountain lions are expert swimmers? Now you do. Mountain lions are known to have the ability to swim over a mile in search of new territory or food sources. This thick boy was crossing the Eagle River at high flow. Neat. Follow @vail4x4 to see more critters that can eat you. Or better yet book a trip to see some live action!”
