http://www.paradisepost.com/ci_20269991 ... rss_viewed A Paradise man says he is lucky to be alive after an attack by a mountain lion Monday morning. Robert Biggs, 69, often hikes in the Bean Soup Flat area, which is about a mile and a half above Whisky Flats. He came across a mother bear, a yearling and a newborn, which were about 40 feet from where he was standing. After watching the bear family for a few minutes he decided to leave them be and turned to walk back up the trail. As he turned, a mountain lion pounced on him grabbing hold of his backpack with all four paws. |

I believed the story up to the playing patty-cake with the baby bear. Sure the story can be partially true, Mother bears have been known to come to the aid of other animals. I suspect some embellishment came into play. |
