In the United States, Colorado park and wildlife protection officials said that a man attacked by a cougar in the north of the state was able to survive after smothering the animal until his death, a circumstance envisioned as "very rare".
The man suffered injuries to the head, neck, face, forearms and wrists, as well as "serious injuries and cuts in the legs and back".
Despite this situation, she arrived alone in a hospital in the region.
According to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Authorities (CPW), the incident occurred yesterday near a reservoir in the Horseshoe Mountain area, to the west of the city Fort Collins in Larimer County, while the man was in charge. .
The injuries of the man, whose identity was not revealed, indicate that the cougar attacked him by the back and reached him at the level of neck.
The man faces the animal – also called mountain lion – and, according to the CPW, a state government agency would smother him.
In a series of posts posted on Twitter, CPW authorities said they were able to confirm "the report of the victim who would have succeeded in choking the animal while protecting himself from the attack ".
However, it is still unclear what triggered the action of the puma, a young specimen, as the attacks of these cats on humans are rare.
The authorities believe that the racial movement of the man could have been the triggering factor or that the cougar was sick.
In any case, a "human action" sparked the "instinct" of the feline, according to the CPW.
It is also unknown how the attacked man, devoid of any kind of defense weapon, managed to smother the animal. His hands were bruised and bloody.
Addressing local media, CPW spokeswoman Rebecca Ferrell said, "We are all confused and impressed." The official also said that killing a cougar with bare hands "is very rare".
Once the man has recovered enough, probably still today, the researchers will have "several questions to ask him," according to Ferrell.
The details of the autopsy of the coup d'etat, as well as the injuries of the man, will not be disclosed until the end of the investigation.
According to the CPW, since 1990, three people have died and 16 have been wounded in coups d'etat.
On your Facebook account, the city's governor, Jared Polis, today urged the locals not to attempt to repeat the acts of the North Colorado man because "it will end probably bad for you. "
Last month, CPW agents captured and killed five cougars in the western state and said it was "their only option" after being seen wandering near from the city of Glenwood Springs.
