with the person inside taking the video through a window. That scares me, because they may not understand glass if they can see through it; and if they charge, unless it's safely glass, they can easily break right through it.

The good thing is, mountain lions rarely charge people. They usually try to avoid them...but then why are they laying on the porch of a human habitat? Does that mean they aren't afraid of humans? That too would scare me. It could be in the heat of summer they come to human dwellings for the water (sprinklers, little pools, etc.), and then rest in whatever shade they can find to hide from the heat.

It's amazing in this video that you can see the lions through the screen, but apparently they can't see a human inside? Or they just don't care?
