My favorite story stems from a park ranger in Oregon (IIRC) who was giving a tour, and they were carrying a 15' (5m) long pole. As were about halfway through, they were taking about cougars, and they stopped next to a tree, and they explained that if a cougar is after you, climbing a tree is not a recommended defense; the pole was a demonstration of how high an adult cougar can jump, straight up.

Those of us with house cats were not surprised, but still. It helped put things into perspective.
