Bear Spray Successfully Deterred A Mountain Lion

Comments Off on Bear Spray Successfully Deterred A Mountain Lion

window.document.getElementById(‘post-9636’).parentNode.className += ‘ adhesive_post’;Bear spray may be an additional tool to use to deter an attacking lion, say two Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks mountain lion experts. Bear spray is a one-to-two percent concentration of capsaicin and related capsaicinoids, produced when the burning substance that naturally occurs in hot red peppers is extracted. It causes the membranes of the eyes, nose and lungs to swell. The result is a temporary, but nearly total, loss of sight and a restriction in one’s ability to breathe. The product is designed to turn back an attacking grizzly bear, or to shorten the length and severity of an attack. The EPA regulates bear sprays and requires that it be packaged in a minimum 7.9 ounce size can.
