Look up “brown bear”, or look up “grizzly bear”

“...rare attack by a young mountain lion...”

He’s lucky it was a young one. A full-grown male/female is formidable.

[Over 23yrs, I shot a dozen-plus of rabid coons, possums, groundhogs and even a large pit bull, on my 20ac nursery. All the brains were removed and medically-tested, to confirm rabies.]

“Pretty badass to kill a mountain lion with your bare hands.”

Chuck Norris can do it with the force of his manly glare.

Anyone who has ever tried to give a “domestic” cat a bath or a pill should have instant respect for this man.

Brown bears iirc you should play dead and protect your head, black bears and grizzly should try to fight?

Brown bears and Grizzly bears are the same type of bear for which playing dead sometimes works because the bears think of you as a rival being submissive. With Black bears, playing dead doesn't work because they don't see you as a rival, just an intruder or prey, and you have to fight for your life.

The mountain lion was wearing the hat. The investigation will prove it, so the hiker was justified.

I think mountain lions are exquisitely beautiful, nearly perfect predators created by God. They are absolutely breathtaking.

......but if one attacked me, my grandson, one of my kitty cats, I would do everything possible to stop/kill that mountain lion!!! If bare hands were all I had, I would fight with my bare hands. I’d probably lose but I would die trying.

Wait till PETA finds out.

It will be another Harambe The (Beloved!) Gorilla who was shot and killed in order to save a child who had wandered inside the animal enclosure.

My $$$ says this is a hoax.

He came across a dead mountain lion, wounded himself.

Welcome to the age of the internet.
