A group of five cyclists were riding on a trail in Fall City, Wash., when they were attacked by at least one cougar this past weekend.

Everybody’s upset about the catamount being killed, but nobody seems to notice the “attacked by at least one” part. Are pumas hunting in packs now? Will we have hordes of mountain lions swarming through our suburbs?
I read that as a polite acknowledgement that the people attacked thought they saw two, but it likely wasn’t the case.
Sort of like mass shootings - people frequently report multiple shooters in the chaos of the attack but it’s almost never true.
I figured, I just wanted to use a bunch of different names for panther
I’m a big fan of John Catamount Mellencamp.
Florida Panthers down here. :)
I’m a third generation Penn State grad so to me it will always be the Nittany Lion
There is likely to be a few hunting together when they are younger and this one sounds like a juvenile. A few years ago there was another attack west of this one, but it was fatal. It was also a juvenile that likely did not learn how to hunt properly. https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/crews-responding-to-report-of-mountain-lion-attack-near-north-bend/752771730/
It doesn’t have to what with all these juicy humans just strolling about.
