A hiker in Utah took video showing a cougar chasing him for nearly six minutes.

Kyle Burgess, 26, said he was hiking at about 5 p.m. Saturday in Provo’s Slate Canyon Park when he saw four cougar cubs.

Then, the apparent mother of the cubs started chasing him.

“No, no go away, please go away,” Burgess, a trail runner who was hiking alone, said as he backed away from the cougar pursuing him on the trail.

At one point Burgess says, apparently to the animal, “Come on, dude, I don’t feel like dying today.”
