Mountain lion biologist Mark Elbroch rates nine big-cat attacks in movies for realism. Elbroch breaks down tiger attacks and hunting behavior in "RRR" (2022), with N. T. Rama Rao Jr.; "The Hangover" (2009), featuring Bradley Cooper; and "Life of Pi" (2012). He looks at lion attacks in "The Lion King" (2019), with James Earl Jones, Donald Glover, and Beyoncé; and "Beast" (2022), starring Idris Elba.

Elbroch explains mountain lion behavior and the accuracy of big-cat sounds in "Me Time" (2022), starring Kevin Hart; "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" (2006), with Will Ferrell; and "The Bear" (1988). He also breaks down the jaguar attack and the reality of having big cats in captivity in "Jungle Cruise" (2021), with Dwayne Johnson.

Elbroch is the director of the puma program at Panthera and has been studying mountain lions — also called pumas and cougars — for 20 years. He has written and coauthored 10 books on natural history, including "The Cougar Conundrum."

The passion this guy has is amazing! More of him please.

Honestly, the mere fact that +200kg cats exist still boggles my mind. You know how savage a normal house cat can be. Multiply by 100 and you have a lion or a tiger. The amount of dead you're about to be if that cat attacks you, is beyond most peoples comprehension. Big cats are simply incredible creatures.

This guy is probably the most generous when it comes to ratings lol. He’s so kind even when the scene is wildly inaccurate.

Remember: the Oscar-winning CGI tiger that Mark praised in Life Of Pi was done by Rhythm & Hues, who immediately went bankrupt after the film launched. The artists protested outside the Academy Awards, SFX director Bill Westenhofer was cut off when he mentioned the work they'd done, and Ang Lee did not mention R&H at all.

Shameful.

i like how this guy's favorite scene was the worst one lol, he appreciated it for what it was and not for trying to be real and failing, but failing on purpose. love it!

I was once on a national park that gave a list of things to do in case you were to be threatened by a puma. After the list of tips, there was a final sentence: "If all of this doesn't work, fight bravely". Thank you guys.

“Cats have very small lungs.”

“Sir have you seen MY lungs?!” 😂

The fact that big cats are so silent and can slip through the grass without being heard mever breaking eye contact is the most terrifying part.

I love his passion for these amazing cats. The fact that there are more tigers in captivity in the US than the world is not crazy it's criminal.

I would definitely listen to a podcast of this man speaking 3 hours about cats

2:14 "There are more tigers in captivity in the US alone than there are wild tigers in the entire world." I'm not _surprised_ by this statistic, but boy, does it break my heart. 😿😿😿

Horrible to hear the pet tiger vs wild Tiger statistic. 😢

I love this guy. He is so nice and explaining with passion even when it's not realistic. He is equally good as Forest Galante who appeared in 3 episodes as an expert. The difference between Forest and Mark is that Forest also add humor but both very professional.

I do the whole quickstep thing with my little house cat whenever she tries to pounce on me. And I can confirm that it definitely works, even though she’s clearly not a lioness, a tigress, or even a cougar.

I love all cats in all their shapes and sizes and appreciate how different yet similar in their behavior they are, from the smallest to the largest 😊

One film that is missing here and which would provide quite a bit to unpack for this gentleman, is 'The Ghost and the Darkness'. I'm hoping you bring him back for more, because I enjoy his passion for these wonderful creatures!

The expert was great and very enjoyable to watch, but how are you not going to have him rate “The Ghost and the Darkness” with Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas? This film is based on the Tsavo man-eaters, probably the most famous historical account of a big-cat attack.

Would of loved to hear from him about 2 things.
1. Mufasa vs the hyenas
2. Idris Elba’s Shere Khan

As a cat lover and a dedicated animal rescuer, his job is the envy of my heart. More of him please, would even better if there's a whole series on just him and big cats. Love it! ❤
