  Utah runner stands up to cougar in frightening 6-minute video Editor's note: The video above is from Aug. 2020 and is not related to the encounter in this story. A video of a Utah man's frightening 6-minute face-to-face encounter with a cougar in the wilderness has gone wild on social media. It's also proving to be an example of what to do if you ever encounter a mountain lion. Kyle Burgess was out on a run through Slate Canyon near Provo on Saturday when he came upon a cougar cub,  he told KUTV . Minutes later, a larger cougar appeared and began stalking him. "I was like, 'Oh. That's mom right there. I'm screwed,'" Burgess told KUTV. The video shows the cougar continuing to follow Burgess as he tries to retreat, occasionally charging toward Burgess. "Go get your babies. Go away," Burgess said in the video. "This is scary. My heart is racing." But rather than running, Burgess walks away while yelling at the cougar to back off.
