A Colorado jogger fought off a mountain lion in the foothills of Horsetooth Mountain on Monday, suffering severe bites before he killed the wild animal in self-defense, authorities said.
The man, who was not identified, was jogging on a trail on the West Ridge of the Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, a mountain park about 66 miles northwest of Denver.
The mountain lion attacked him from behind, biting and clawing the man's face, back, legs and arms, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the Larimer County Department of Natural Resources said in a joint release, late on Monday.

ReplyDeleteI wish there was a photo of this man. If I'm walking down the sidewalk and see him, I would cross to the other side. I fear no man, but this dude is meaner din a junk yard dog. Lol
ReplyDeletePrayers for his recovery, hope he is doing good.
