  • EDITOR'S NOTE: Previous news releases had listed the mountain lion that attacked Kauffman as being in the 80-100 pound range. The recently-released necropsy on the cub determined it to be 25-30 pounds.
    ***
    Travis Kauffman was on a run near Fort Collins, Colorado when he was attacked by a mountain lion. He survived a 10-minute struggle with the big cat.
    ***
    I knew with two pretty good blows to the back of the head that it didn’t release that I was probably going to have to do something a little more drastic.
    About a quarter mile into that run, hearing some pine needles rustle, a stick break and I turned around and just was pretty bummed out to see a mountain lion chasing after me.
    The mountain lion weighed around 100 pounds.
    It just kind of kept running and lunged at me, it was going toward my face so I threw up my hands to sort of block my face, at which point it grabbed onto my hand and wrist. From there, it started to claw at my face and neck and that’s when kind of my fear response turned into a fight response.
    There was a point where I was concerned I wasn’t going to make it out of it.
    I think it might have been a mix of me tussling with the cat and it still clawing at me and thinking about another cat potentially coming along.
    It got a claw in my lip. I tried to throw it off me at that point and we took a little tumble down the south side of the trail. Down there, just kind of had a little wrestling match, at which point I was able to get on top of it, pin its back legs so I didn’t get any soft tissue scratched out in my nether regions.
    I was grabbing around for sticks, I only had my left hand free. My right hand was still locked in its jaws. Tried to get at its neck to see if I could stab it in the neck to get it to release. That wasn’t working, the sticks were breaking, so then I picked up a rock that I’d seen kind of near us. It was pretty heavy and it was kind of hard to wield and I tried to give it a few bashes in the back of the head but unfortunately I had a tough time swinging it with my arm still locked into the cat’s jaws.
    I stepped on its neck with my right foot and just slowly, after a few minutes, I thought I’d be getting close and then it’d start thrashing again, I have a few more scratches as a result of from those thrashes at that point. I’d say another couple minutes later it stopped moving. Jaws opened and I was able to kind of scramble back up the hill and get the heck out of dodge.
    In my mind, I’ve replayed it, it seems like a long time but I’m thinking 10 minutes at most.
    Officials applaud Kauffman’s reaction to the attack.

    He did all the right things. He put his hands up, he yelled at it, and it still came after him.

      Good on him for protecting his life, but its not the amazing feat people are suggesting. Like If a full grown malnourished sick coyote attacked you and you fought it off it would be more impressive than this. A full Grown malnourished coyote at least had the time to learn how to hunt where as this stunted growth cougar obviously lost its mother early and has no idea what its doing.

I mean large cats have attacked people and didn't like the way they taste and ran off. Or didn't think it was worth the effort. If the cat was 100 pounds as originally reported, it would have either killed the man or ran off. The cat was 25 to 30 pounds and if it was any bigger, the man would not have been able to choke it out.

      Why didn't they show the bite marks and claw marks. Also they said he killed it with his bare hands. I thought he used a stick to stab it and a rock to bash it. Also just because the media says someone said something don't mean they said it. And even if someone said something it don't mean it's true.

    My dads seventy years old, and literally grew up in a hut in Somalia. So seeing lions from a distance was completely normal (never mind hyenas whom he used to walk past), But when he was sixteen, he was going to his moms house, there were no lights so he was using his memory and possibly the stars. So on his way, just as he was about to take a step, he realised that he was about to step on something, so he moved back, and the thing got up And the things skin had a light glow, my dad who was also a soldier said this moment was the scariest of his life as he realised that a lion is right in front of him! He instinctively grabbed a rock, and he felt and saw 2 more walk past him! So he ran,( and my dad was infamously known for his speed!), he looked back and they weren’t there, so he realises he could die, because it’s known that lions go round and come in front of the person, but thankfully he found a few people from his tribe, and told them the what just happened, and they started laughing and said now you know true fear, and this calmed him down a bit!

    c'mon man...a 30 lb cub?! ...I'm just saying...a real man would've applied a sleeper hold, took it home, and trained it to be the worlds most awesomest house cat!

      @Donnie Darko No. It was actually 35 lb. 100 lb is a fake number. It was an starving cub whose mother just died. They found their two siblings nearby and relocated them.

      He wasn't expecting it. He had that couple of seconds to react. It had his hand in its mouth. He was probably also terrified. I have never been attacked by an animal before and knowing it is one that literally wants to kill me by biting, scratching, pouncing on me would leave me horrified but not defenseless of course. Fully grown man versus a 30 pound cub still leaves the human the advantage even if it snuck up on him.

    Big difference bet 100 pounds cat and 20-30 pound cat( actual size). The 100 pound cat would have easily killed this pencil neck

      A cat that size would easily kill most of us, 1v1, no weapon. They're pure strength and ferocity. Imagine those claws ripping giant gashes into your flesh.

    • @MediciMedic
      @MediciMedic 5 лет назад

      Including myself in that 1v1. The best you could do would be to keep your throat tucked away and hope it didn't latch onto your neck or head in anyway with its paws or mouth. It incapacitating in one of your limbs means game over, too.
      I'd be a dead man against a fully grown big car.

      The cat was 45 - 50 lbs. It was about a year and a half old. Essentially a pre adolescent aka teenager
