In a bizarre incident, a man was attacked by a fierce mountain lion and he has fought it and manages to kill it. The unnamed man was running in the early morning in the Fort Collins area of Colorado Park and Wildlife when the lion pounced on him and instead of getting scared or running away he decided to fight back with whatever strength he could muster braving wounds to his face wrists and pretty much his whole body. With sheer will power he had then walked back to his car and drove himself to a hospital where he is being treated.

Forest officials who conducted a necropsy on the cat have ascertained that it was a juvenile aged about one year and that it was strangled to death by the man who was fighting for survival. It is stated that since 1990, there have been 16 injuries and three deaths due to mountain lion attacks in Colorado.
