Attacked jogger kills young puma

A runner has survived an attack by a young puma in the wilderness of the American state of Colorado.

The jogger was attacked from behind on the slopes of Horsetooth Mountain and suffered bite injuries in his face, back, legs and arms. The injuries are serious, but not life-threatening. After he had turned off the cougar, he managed to walk to his car. Then he drove to a hospital himself. The animal is recovered and is being examined.
