Man kills mountain lion with his bare hands after being attacked by it

Baku. 6 February. REPORT.AZ/ The man, who hasn't been identified, was trail running on Colorado's Horsetooth Mountain when the cat charged him from behind. It bit his face and wrists, and left him with cuts on his arms, legs, and back, according to Rebecca Ferrell, a spokeswoman for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Report informs citing Denver Post that he "partially blocked" the mountain lion with his forearms, started brawling with it, and scrambled away. Then he went on the attack.

According to Ferrell, he managed to get on top of the cat and "suffocate" it with his bare hands. Whether that means he smothered the thing somehow or actually choked it to death, no one knows.

“It’s an amazing story. Everyone is baffled and impressed,” Ferrell told the Denver Post. "He had no weapons, no knives or trekking poles with him. How did he do it? It’s pretty rare."

Battered and bleeding, the guy hiked off the mountain and took himself to a nearby hospital, where he's currently being treated for injuries. He asked Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials to grab the gear he left at the scene of the attack, which they've since found—along with the animal he killed.
