"Cougar Injures Cyclists in Washington Trail Attack"

A cougar attacked a group of five cyclists on a trail in Washington, sending one woman to the hospital in stable condition. Officials removed one cougar from the scene and suspect there may be a second. Cougar attacks on humans are rare, with only around two dozen documented encounters resulting in injury since 1924. Experts advise people to group together, make noise, and appear as large as possible if they encounter a cougar, and to fight back aggressively if attacked.
