If a Mountain Lion attacks by snapping the neck of it's victim, would the victim feel being eaten?

Answer 1

Mountain lions, like all other big cats except African and Asian lions, make sure to kill their prey before they start eating. Mountain lions do not always snap the animals neck, but if the prey is small enough, they often shake it several times which does snap many vertebrae. When killing a large animal, they often go for the head or neck because they prefer to suffocate larger prey. If you were the unlikely victim of a mountain lion, it would definitely kill you before starting to feed. They often drag their prey away from a kill site to a sheltered are before feeding.

Answer 2

No.

Carnivors evolved long cainine teeth to sever the spinal cord. This disconnects the brain from the rest of the body so the victim is paralyzed and feels no sensation. The brain has a backup system of nerves which control breathing and heart rate however. These nerves are not involved with pain sensation. This technique of disabling prey is not completely effective however. The spinal cord is still capable of reflex actions and the prey might still manage to scratch and kick, although it does so involuntarily. Many large cats grip the prey under the neck and crush the wind pipe. This suffocates the victim and the carnivore can then feed on a dead animal. Members of the dog family tear at the prey in a large pack. The animal eventually bleeds to death. Members of the weasel family kill prey mostly by severing the spinal cord. The weasel will also deliver additional bites which might break the spine in a multitude of places. This minimizes the possibility of reflex actions when consuming still living prey in the cramped confines of a burrow. Carnivores which eat small rodents rely on the prey to enter a state of shock if suddenly grabbed and bitten. The prey is not fataly injured but completely unconcious. This allows the carnivore to quickly swallow the prey whole. Mother cats carry such rodents back to the nest for the kittens to play with. This is how cats learn to kill prey.

Answer 3

They actually more often jump on the animal and bite it at the base of the skull. This collapses it and their teeth sink into your brain and then you're dead. Tigers are the big cats that usually kill by snapping necks.

But either way, even if the animal was still alive they wouldn't feel it because the nerve impulses that transmit feelings of pain never reach the brain.

Answer 4

No I would rather starve. I,m not into cannibalism. No I would not consider that the unforgivable sin Jehovah determines whether we have committed an unforgivable sin, and he can withdraw his spirit from us. (Psalm 51:11) However, if we are deeply grieved over a sin we have committed, it is very likely that we are truly repentant.The type of sin mentioned in the Bible as being unforgivable is not simply a category such as stealing, lying or sexual immorality. These things are serious, however, and may involve unforgivable sin. (Rev. 21:8) But the unforgivable sin is deliberate sin against the manifest operation of God’s spirit. It springs from a heart that is thoroughly and forever alienated from God

Answer 5

It's not "it's" it's actually "its"....
But that's beside the point.

I think if the spinal column and the nerves are severed, then the victim wouldn't feel it because the central nervous system wouldn't be connected to the brain.


.
Does that make sense?

Answer 6

If the spinal chord is broken, the victim would have no feeling whatsoever of feelings of being eaten, he would be dead

Answer 7

I don't think so because snapping the neck would either kill or paralyze the victim.

Answer 8

Since you would probably be dead, I would say no.

Besides, breaking the spinal cord would prevent the brain from feeling anything from the body if the brain was still living.

Answer 9

before it gets it's teeth on your neck, it's going to be mauling you with it's front claws, which you most certainly will feel.

Mountain lions and most large cats are hide and pounce type hunters, so it's going to sneak up behind you, drag you down, and then get it's jaws on you.

all of which you most certainly WILL feel until your neck is snapped.

This is a question that can never be answered unless it personally happens to you and is recorded. If it does,make sure you shout your answer out loud and clear and then we'll all know the truth.
