"Under no circumstances should you turn your back and run, as this may trigger the cat’s chase instinct."

Oh god, this would be my first instinct.  I guess I would just be cougar dessert then.  Glad this guy was able to defend himself!

By strangulation!

The scars are going to make for a great dinner party story one day.

Guest: How'd you gets those scars on your face?

Badass-Runner: Oh these, just fending off a mountain lion attack on the running trail. NBD. Killed 'er too. With my bare hands. Well okay it was really with my arms. Had to strangle it so....

Guest: {jaw drops}

Badass-Runner: So how are things at work with you? Did you ever finish that report you were telling me about last week?

I feel like this just proves my point that running is bad for you.

The cat fell victim to one of the classic blunders; the most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go up against a runner when death is on the line.

I couldn't see your picture, but for some reason it displayed as your search term "badly taxidermied lion" and those results are hilarious.

So sad the things people do to get attention...

& I think he was originally from Arkansas, most of the "natives" hands are too soft to pull something like this off

I’d probably get mauled trying to pet the damn thing.
