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.
I think it’s hilarious just how unprepared anything is for how much getting suddenly beat the fuck up can hurt.
Humans are one of the only species that can spontaneously gang up and lay the smack down on ya.
Baboons gang up on leopards all the time, our genetic line has been ganging up on threads since we weren’t even apes but monkeys. It’s the age old tradition of forming a mob and curbstomping everything that brought us to the top of the food chain.
Man, there’s a war between feral monkeys and dogs in certain parts of the world. Like nothing has made me more angry at dogs than seeing an infant monkey in its jaws. It’s the only time in my life I wanted to drop kick a dog.
I think it happend at india, and the monkeys took revenge on all the dogs at the village. You might be able to find some videos about the incident on youtube.
No. No, I don’t think I will.
Monkeys are pretty fucked up themselves, I don’t have much sympathy.
Not true. Orca’s and dolphins very much do the same. Same as hyena’s, lions, all corvids, some primates, otters, elephants, buffalo, some parasitic birdd and more form mobs. Mob mentality is a great tactic.
