I don't think the mountain lion is simply a hungry and carnivorous predator trying to survive, nor is he even normal. From what I saw, he was taunting Shadow and Chance and mocking his prey. He just had a meal before going in to hunt Shadow and Chance. Notice how he licks his lips twice? If he really did just have a meal, they were probably censoring it, so it wouldn't disturb younger children. Cougars are ambush predators and he wasn't doing anything to hunt them down. He was allowing Chance to spot him, while Shadow was fishing. He disappeared for a moment right after Chance spotted him. He was waiting for both dogs to spot him before he could give them a scare. He wasn't catching up to them on purpose. When Shadow tries to attract his attention, the cougar scared him away, as if he was trying to let him know where he was. He was giving Shadow more time to escape to keep the chase going. Cougars can run at 50 mph, while golden retrievers can only run at 20-30 mph. Unless he's just simply an incompetent predator who doesn't know how to hunt properly, this means that he's hunting Shadow and Chance just to have fun. When he cornered Shadow and Chance, he wasn't going in for the kill. He was trying to scare them, so they'd run away. He was pissed to see that they were standing up against him and weren't afraid of him anymore. He was obviously purring when he was taunting Shadow and Chance, indicating he could have been enjoying it. He growled at Chance to get his attention to let him know that he was there.
