Jogger is Attacked By Mountain Lion, Chokes it to Save Himself

That will make you run faster! A man in Colorado was jogging on teh Horsetooth Mountain trail in Colorado when he was attacked by a mountain lion! The 80lb animal bit his face and wrist, but he was able to break free. He then suffocated the mountain lion WITH HIS BARE HANDS in self defense. A necropsy confirmed, and supported the man’s claim that he killed it by suffocating it.

We can also confirm the lion in this case was less than a year old, and we may be able to determine age a bit more tightly in the final reports. The cat also tested negative for rabies, which is very welcome news.
