Might be just a little too close to home. Have seen some pretty big mountain lions of late.

I think the news story overplayed the "bear rescuing a man she knew" aspect - um, more like a Mama Bear protecting her cubs from a KNOWN threat (Mountain lion). Still an amazing story, though!

I agree but it does put a nice spin on the story with a little creative license
