According to the photographer, it had no fear of her, or anyone else........... I don't think that's a good thing.
I never walk anywhere without being armed, and you can imagine why now can't you? There was a young boy attacked by a cat there this year as well.
Thanks for stopping by.
Jim, those bears and cat's are there, I think we don't see them because we don't spend enough time there in order to run into them. I walked up on a cat one time, and we both scared each other so bad, I didn't get a photo of him. These bears are at Sanderson.

In 1985 there was a similar incident of a cat attacking a boy in the same area. The boy was from Garland, Texas. It required multiple operations to fix boy's scalp where the cat had attacked him.

I remember that attack quit well, Deguello, A friend of mine in Alpine drove that boy back to Dallas in an ambulance. All the times I've been in Big Bend, I have never seen a cat or a bear. Wish I could get a good photo of a bear.
DeleteDoes anyone know if the park rangers ever caught that cat that attacked the youn boy this year?
DeleteI never heard on way or the other.
It is not a good thing when a wild animal is not scared of you. Looks like that cat could easily tear into my little tent.
ReplyDeleteWith my bad case of CRS (Can't Remember Sh*#) I thought I had heard they caught the cat and that it was an old female...then again I could be wrong :(
ReplyDeleteThat is a most excellent photo of that big cat. I've done some hiking in Colorado and always worried about them there. If they jump you from behind a gun is probably not going to do much good, but I carry always.
ReplyDeleteThe big cats are all around us - they are just so elusive that we rarely see them. I caught one in a bobcat cage a few months ago. By far the scariest time of my life... letting a big cat out of a cage and standing within 5 ft of the beast. WOWSERS!

Chris, what an adventure! Did the cat move away as soon as you opened the gate, I hope?
ReplyDeleteDid you get any photo's?
Suerte,
ReplyDeleteHe backed out really slowly and went immediately into stalking mode. I expected him to respond like a bobcat and just take off but he didn't. Just slowly stalked his way down to the river, and eventually right back up on the road a few yards from me. Then he walked right down the middle of the road and eventually up into the mountain. I took a short video of him while in the cage. Nothing while getting him out because I kinda had my hands full. lol
Here is the video:
