Mountain Cougar Attacked Two Bikers, Mauled One To Death In Washington(Photos) by Explorers(m): 5:11am On May 21, 2018
The 32-year-old biker who was killed by a starving cougar in a horrific attack that left another man injured in Washington State has been identified.

SJ Brooks was killed on Saturday morning during a mountain-bike ride with 31-year-old Isaac Sederbaum near North Bend, about 30 miles east of Seattle, when the cougar attacked.


Authorities said the two men did everything right, getting off their bikes, making noise and trying to scare the animal off.


One even smacked it with his bike after it charged.

The cougar ran off, but it returned and attacked when the men got back on their bikes.


'It's very, very rare for cougars to behave this way, in fact the stats on this are quite stunning.'


Only one other person in Washington has died from a cougar attack in the last 100 years, theSeattle Times reported.


While 15 others have been attacked over the same period of time, their injuries were not fatal.


First picture, SJ Brooks.

Sederbaum told KOMO News that at one point his entire head was inside the cougar's mouth, but when his friend began to run away, the cougar dropped him and chased Brooks.

He then rode his bike to try and find reception so he could call 911.

The injured man called 911 just after 11am, and shouted: 'Can you hear me? Help!'

The call then cut out.

Sederbaum survived the attack but was rushed to Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries.


First responders said the cougar was standing over Brooks when authorities discovered his body.


'The cougar had actually dragged the victim's body back to the wood line and he was found dead there,' Sargent Ryan Abbott from the King County Sheriff's office said.

The cougar should have been fried alive and fed to the vultures.


But I trust my mumu oyinbo people, they'll just put it in the cage.

The Cougar was 'Euthanized', put to death humanely by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Police.


Wildlife officials were unable to trap the big cat initially as it ran into the woods, and officers with the Washington Department of Fish and Game spent hours trying to track it.


Eventually at about 4pm, the cougar was found and euthanized.


Steve Mickel showed reporters footage of a cougar he had seen in the same area just a few weeks ago, though there is no way to tell if the cat is the same one that killed Brooks.

Cougar is big, can weigh 100kg(2bags of cement).

Sometimes bigger than leopard and cheetah.

But not as big as lion and tiger.


Mass weight of the big cats:



Tiger - 300kg (Siberian)

Lion - 150 - 250kg

Cheetah - 50 - 80kg

Leopard - 30 - 80kg

They should have teamed up and attacked it with all they gat too.
Humans have become too weak and domesticated.

So you think it was the same one that posed for a picture?

A wild predator is a killing machine. It sees you...it sees lunch or a snack

Its faster and way stronger than you.

I am not surprised it went for the black guy who seems fatter.

The cougar probably said "YUMMY" when it saw him
