Mountain Bike rider killed by a couger.

A sad run in with nature. As if there isn't enough things to worry about out there.

No worries - added to your original message. Saw this earlier today. So awful.

A sad story. Too bad the two guys didn't stick together. I wouldn't be surprised if the cougar was either sick or starving. Terrible all around.

When I read elsewhere that the cougar weighed 100 pounds, I knew the reason for the attack. It was in fact starving. Check out this article:

The cougar was emaciated. That's why it attacked, out of desperation. I feel sorry for the cyclists, but I feel sorry for that cougar, too.
