[SivVulk]

PARADISE, Calif., March 30 (UPI) -- A California man said he was attacked by a mountain lion while out hiking and he was rescued by a mother bear.

Robert Biggs, 69, of Paradise said he went out hiking and gold panning Monday morning near Whiskey Flats, and stopped to watch a mother bear with a yearling and a cub sitting on a stream bank, ABC News reported Friday.

Biggs said he was turning to leave when a mountain lion jumped onto his back. He said he hit the lion on the head with a rock pick and he turned to see the mother bear grab the mountain lion by the neck and throw it to the ground.

Bears are unpredicable so it could be true. Its a really cool story and I like bears even if they do raid campsites. they are only hungry.
