Lone jogger viciously attacked by juvenile mountain lion suffocates animal to death with bare hands in Colorado
A jogger in Colorado reportedly fought off a juvenile mountain lion in the foothills of Horsetooth Mountain in Colorado on February 4. The authorities said that the man, who has not been identified, suffered from severe bites before he managed to kill the big cat in self-defense. The unnamed man was jogging along a trail on the West Ridge of the Horsetooth Mountain Open Space which is a park about 66 miles to the northwest of Denver.
The Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the Larimer County Department of Natural Resources said in a joint statement late on February 4 that the mountain lion attacked the man from behind and managed to bite and claw at his face, back, legs, and arms. It was not disclosed, however, how the jogger managed to kill the juvenile cat, according to Daily Mail.
