Last week, a jogger in Colorado had has his run interrupted when he was attacked from behind by a mountain lion in Horsetooth Mountain Park near Fort Collins. Facing the life and death struggle, the man choked out and killed the big cat with his bare hands to save his own life.
The identity of the jogger was previously unknown, but yesterday 31-year-old Travis Kauffman came forward as the man from the encounter and told the incredible story of how his leisurely run in the park quickly turned into a fight for his life with a wild animal intent on killing him.
He sustained serious lacerations from the clawing and 17 stitches to the face.while the lion was trying to maul him, but it sure beats the alternative.
