My wife saw the X-rays of a woman killed by a cougar up in the foothills several years ago. Said it basically looked like the victim had been struck by a car: Spine completely severed, heart and other internal organs ripped loose, all from the impact of the cat's initial strike. They like to get a running start and slam into you so hard, the impact alone kills you.
Add two more confirmed sightings, confirmed by myself, but still quite accurate, here in ne Ohio in the past five years. Don't give a shit what the guvment says.
