That headline is so close to leopards eating people's face.

Reminds me of my sister's cat attacking playing with my head, except more opportunity for death.

"Cougar paws at man in hot tub" must've been too risqué.

There’s nothing more juxtaposed to chilling in a hot tub than getting attacked by a goddamn big cat

What a shitty article to not include the town or area, just Colorado?

It's all fun and games until you try to head dunk a mountain lion in the water.

Watch how Universal will make a film about this in upcoming years and have it crossover with the cocaine bear.

Not the "Find Hot cougars in your area" he expected.

Sous Vide has become more popular in cougar culture so this doesn’t surprise me

Interesting that the wounds were purely superficial. Glad the guys ok.

Wonder if the hot tub chemicals confused the cat and didn't realize they were prey? Either way, fuck that.

Some cats like their humans slightly poached

Let's be fair, who doesn't enjoy a nice hot bowl of Stu after coming out of the cold?

What a 'cat' move. "Fuck your hot tub and fuck you." For like no apparent reason.

Well if he didn't want to be eaten he shouldn't have marinated himself.

The mountain lion was checking to see if he was properly tenderized.

This is among the worst possible outcomes when soaking in a hot tub

yeah, it took 2-3 extra clicks to find the town.

For anyone thinking that's trivial, for one, Colorado is big. Second, this is unusual behavior (although growing more common), and that lion will continue to be way too unafraid of humans and must be captured. They're also territorial, so this lion won't be wandering too far and folks in other towns should be able to use their hot tubs at night without too much fear.

That said, mountain lion behavior is seems to be changing kind of rapidly, so who knows how far this cat will go for stewed human.

Tbf whenever a colorado state wide news reports on a mountain town its always referred to as a "Colorado town" in the headline or opening words of all reports here for as long as I've been alive. So it's just how we do it here cause even we don't bother to learn the name of every Nederland or Southpark

The mountain lions attacking people isn't that unusual for at least the decades I've been here. I personally know a number of people who've have very close run ins with unafraid mountain lions around here the past 30 years. It may be happening more but it's simply to be expected due to what we're doing to their homes (the same thing is happening with all the animals around here).

Currently I still worry about running into a moose or a scared deer more than a mountain lion (I tend to try to keep my head up for all the wildlife of course) as I and people I know have had many more close calls with moose, elk, and deer up in the mountains than the mountain lions.

Would be nice if we'd just stop fighting for space with them and just let them have more breathing room

There's a hiking trail just south west of Montrose. If memory serves it's Spring Creek canyon. The trail goes so close to a puma den you can smell the scent they spray to mark their territory. I never saw one except very briefly crossing the main road in Beaver Creek. I know 3 people who poached pumas.

When you live in the wild what do you expect. I live in CO and would never live in a remote area like that. Also never hike alone or trail run alone unless it is a popular area. We live in their territory, wish people would respect that.

Mountain Lions have been a pain in the ass in grand county since I was born.

It's not unusual for a large predator to try to intimidate us off the mountains. It's their habitat we are invading.

A girl in the 90s was killed by one while fishing off a dock up here. Very common in the mountains.
