There was a recent news story about a group of women cyclists who were attacked by a cougar.

This is a good reminder to stay alert when out in the wilderness!

These creatures have various names:

  • Mountain Lions
  • Cougars
  • Panthers
  • Pumas

Tips:

  • Stay in a group
  • Keep children at arm’s length
  • Do not run, pick up children in case they run
  • Appear larger
  • If the lion approaches: shout, throw branches, do not turn your back
  • If attacked, fight back

Stay safe out there!
