Cougars

[Lallans]

The postings seen here from people who have co-existed with cougars generally seem to confirm my vague idea that if cougars do attack, it's from behind (?) This is creepier than I'm used to, but I'm sure I will adapt if they do become common- which experience tells me they will because the recent recogition also means they're now a super-protected species and there's lots & lots of food for them. (I refer to deer, not children )

And little rat-dogs, and stray cats, and ground rats and other varmints...

...Though I will admit, all the cougars I've come in contact with seem to attack from the top.
