Emus are nothing impressive. A medium sized dog or cat could kill one pretty easily. |

Don't underrate the emu too much: These large birds have developed agile running skills are able to jump and kick for defense against dingoes, though large raptors will prey on young chicks or eggs. http://birding.about.com/od/birdprofiles/p/Emu.htm |

Wrong,pitbull aren't easier prey infact if you look then pitbull was already old age of 13 years. http://www.vancouversun.com/life/bull+survives+cougar+attack+Sunshine+Coast/11015221/story.html Here a pitbull survive a cougar attack after cougar ambushed pitbull, this shows us how game pitbull are,i am not saying cougar cannot kill pitbull but that pitbull survived even an ambush from cougar, if pitbull have not run away from there ofcourse cougar would have killed pitbull. |

pit bull is fairly easy. big cats reportdly killing a 30-50 kg street dogs with a swipe on the head the cougar is small. but the pit bull ain't much bigger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOmME3J48TQ i'd favor wild canines over domestic. the young leopard killed it quit easly. grappling and claws were used. THATS A YOUNG LEOPARD the cougar in that case is bigger and an adult. |

13 years old for a dog is like being over 90 for a human... Even if I was starving with a broken leg I'd easily kill a 90 year old. Why did you only mention the handicaps of the cougar in the title? Like the dog was a prime specimen, lol. |

In comparison, my uncle''s dog is 9, has heart problems and can't do much physical activities, and is blind on one eye because of cataracts. |

No it's two humans, which are "even", and yet, starving with a broken leg one still has the advantage over the 90 year old. The point being is that being 90(or 13 for a dog) is clearly the greater disadvantage here, but for some reason got glossed over like it was nothing. Cats live longer than dogs, I'm not as familiar with their stages of aging but a 13 year old dog likely has no teeth, is blind and deaf, has heart troubles and struggles breathing. If the cougar didn't kill it, the walk likely would have. Edited by Grazier, Dec 19 2016, 09:02 AM.

Regarding the Bull Mastiff/Cougar account odds are the Cougar was infact roughed up, lost interest and left and the BM just returned to its "territory" rather than pursue the Cougar? People act like it's always a cat victory unless the cat dies. But if it were reversed and a Cougar simply roughed up a larger dog and the dog just left it'd suddenly be "The dog hit its ass handed to it "Like, where's the middle ground here? |

The fact a 13 year old pit bull was described as "a pit bull" being killed by a "starving cougar with a broken leg" shows what kind of uphill battle there is before we reach any kind of middle ground. And you're totally right, the reality is if a cat has any sort of upper hand it kills its foe, or at least produces deep bite wounds, claw scratches to the dog, no bite wounds, a retreating cat, all points to the bullmastiff winning the altercation. |

All evidence points to no serious physical fight at all. An inbred moron claims his dog scared a cougar off by running into it. The cat whacks the dog "that left the dog with scratches across its neck and arms", and the cat runs off. I can see why those who are desperate to find a domestic dog performing admirably against a wild cat might cling to this account, but in doing so they really demonstrate the complete lack of evidence they have to support their views. |

I mean if he did infact see his Bull Mastiff football tackle into a Cougar regardless of size and the cat left without killing the dog (which apparently was the aggressor) then I don't understand what's so far fetched that the man's account held a sliver of truth? I mean... People still use giant dogs to guard livestock for a reason. If they were nothing but fodder (at least the tough ones) you'd think farmers would just use spiked fencing more or something rather than raising giant dogs just to be predator food. |
