Two Men Release an Angry Cougar Stuck in a Trap

Jinkies! This footage is stressful to watch from a computer screen, I can't imagine how these two men were feeling while they faced a live, angry cougar who became stuck in a hunting trap. It takes nearly 6 minutes for the men to successfully release the cougar from the trap, and it looks like the rescue could go south at any second (the footage starts at 0:27). 

Most people are aware that cougars are incredible predators with large teeth and claws who have an uncanny ability to roam the wilderness without being seen by other animals or humans. Yet, from the comments on YouTube, it seems many people had never heard the noises a cougar makes; also known as an impressively terrifying range of hisses and growls.
