Man Who Killed Mountain Lion With His Bare Hands Tells His Story [Video]
By now you've heard of the Colorado man who not only survived a mountain lion attack, but actually killed the animal with his bare hands! This is the story, along with his gruesome injuries, straight from his mouth.
Travis Kauffman was jogging in Forth Collins, Colorado on February 4th when he was attacked by a mountain lion. Kauffman, originally from Arkansas, moved to Colorado five years ago for a more active outdoors lifestyle.
He details how he ended up suffocating the mountain lion by stepping on it's neck after a harrowing fight.
