Women pinned cougar during 'hand-to-hand combat' to save friend trapped in its jaws
The cat dialed back pressure through its crushing jaws, and the friend was able to pull away, fellow cyclists said in an interview one month after the incident east of Seattle.
The cat dialed back pressure through its crushing jaws, and the friend was able to pull away, fellow cyclists said in an interview one month after the incident east of Seattle.
A group of Seattle-area cyclists who helped one of their own escape the jaws of a cougar recounted their story this weekend, saying they fought the cat and pinned it down.
The woman who was attacked, Keri Bergere, sustained neck and face injuries and was treated at a hospital and released following the Feb. 17 incident on a trail northeast of Fall City, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife said in a statement.
Bergere said she spent five days at an area hospital and was still recovering.
Fish and Wildlife Lt. Erik Olson called the actions of her fellow cyclists "heroic" in the statement. But the extent of the cyclists' battle with the 75-pound cat wasn't immediately clear then.
Do NOT play dead with a cougar. They will fuck you up.
Fight back like your life depends on it.

That's pretty badass of the women. Using the bike to pin that big cat down in just the right spot must've taken some brass too. The thing would be hissing and freaking the fuck out trying to claw you while holding it down.
When your friends fight off a mountain lion, and then pin it down, that's how you know you have some good friends.
It's always wolves and bears in movies, but if either attack a human it's because the human ignored warnings and the bear or wolves couldn't retreat anymore...
Big cats tho?
It's very easy for them to consider humans food.
A Cougar can stalk a human for miles before striking, and you'll never know it's there.
If you turn around and see a cougar staring at you, you're already considered food and running doesn't help. You need to act like a bear, make a shit ton of noise and pretend you're not currently shitting your pants. And you'll likely scare it off. Act like prey and run tho, and it's going to act like a predator.
Run from a bear and wolves, and they got exactly what they wanted and won't chase.
What a fucking boss.
Ngl, the title had me questioning some very important details of the event there ...
Wouldn't that make it 'hand-to-claw combat'?
I'm just wondering what an older sexy woman was doing with another woman in her jaws...
But, hey, who am I to judge, right?!
Wow, she didn't even risk her bike to fight off a cougar and opted for hand-to-
handclaw combat: This lady might be the most badass cyclist of all time.Women, can't live with them, can pin them down when they try to...ohhh a real cougar! Oh ok, yeah man fight back.
Poor cat...
