US state wildlife authorities say that a man who strangled a mountain lion after it attacked him was an orphaned cougar cub.
The mountain lion strangled by a man after it attacked him on a jogging trail last month was a young cub, weighing no more than 18 kilograms and likely orphaned but not starving, US state wildlife officials say.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife said in a statement:"The cause of death was determined to be… blunt trauma and strangulation."He said on February 4 he was jogging on the Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, about 105km northwest of Denver, when he heard pine needles rustling and turned to see a cougar staring him down."I was bummed out to see a mountain lion," he told reporters.
