This footage was captured by a couple of animal rescuers who dedicate their lives to helping animals in distress like the one you’re about to see.

A mountain lion or cougar was trapped by its right paw and couldn’t free itself; that’s when these two brave guys step in.

Using catch poles, they loop the neck of the animal to somehow subdue him and give the rescuers a bit of time to set him free without having their faces ripped off!

The lion as you’ll see is very agitated and in no mood to deal with humans!

At one point during the rescue, the animal attacked the two fellas scaring the living hell out of one of them who ran for his life!

Fortunately the attack was not successful since the cougar couldn’t reach them.

Lucky for all three, the animal was safely released from the trap and was able, after a few minutes of resting, to run freely and leave.

Though it bled a little from its paw; the wound will most likely heal just fine.
