Biggs set out Monday morning for one of his usual hiking and gold-panning trips near Whiskey Flats when he came across a mother bear, yearling, and cub sitting on a stream bank. Biggs said he stopped to watch the bears for a few moments, but, as he turned to leave, something jumped on his back and knocked him to his knees.  "My backpack raises up over my head and a mountain lion latched on to it," Biggs said.
 Biggs hit the lion on the head with a rock pick he was carrying when he saw the bear grab the lion by the neck, Biggs said. The two animals struggled on the ground for a few seconds before the lion got free and ran away, he added.

Isn't there a saying that March begins like a Lion, but ends like a Bear? This puts a whole new meaning on that expression.

more like a literal meaning, that's pretty badass

It was probably the bear from Anchor Man. Biggs' dog befriended his cousin in the wild, and the rest is history.

Mr. Biggs sure loves the gold. So do I, and I would probably have the same reaction as his... to go back for more LOL.
