00:19in a fight for their lives against a mountain lion oh my god
00:24yeah it's uh easy easy prey officials are urging caution after last last week's attack
00:34in a remote area of the white mountain apache reservation here kitty kitty
00:41don't call it over to you are you crazy a tiny cat that's not a tiny that is a mountain lion it's
00:48little here kitty no go white water rafting they said i want to pet it come here we are the most
01:02extreme senior citizens of them all we can handle a cougar i don't know i don't know it doesn't seem
01:10friendly kitty it's got a mean look about it i guess it is a little bit bigger than you thought
01:17it doesn't have a is it purring that are you hearing that's not a nope you're purring
01:25the attack occurred 21 miles downstream from the salt salt river bridge on the white mountain
01:55apache nation which is the north side of the salt river in a really remote area they say
02:00hey yeah got it got sally sally's gone sally a 64 year old new mexico resident was injured in the
02:09attack she's still very sore well her name's not sally no she's 64 she is expected to survive
02:16yep it's it's mad as the lion was attacking the 64 year old woman 10 other senior rafters
02:25attempted to fight it off using their rafter paddles get out of here sweat eventually the 10 seniors
02:36did manage to keep the lion at bay while other seniors headed to safety on their rafts how how does
02:43this one senior look now no pictures no probably not great like shredded beef yeah they go right for
02:53your neck they get you right in that neck they'll kill you thank god there was 10 other seniors there
02:59with paddles though yeah right if it was just a long time over on by herself she'd be done oh yeah yeah oh yeah
03:06good for them for being active though absolutely you know we're going to bingo next let's do that
03:14crazy cougars at bingo not as much risk at bingo that's why they do something like that what do you
03:21think sally oh no she's bleeding out it really had her by the neck yeah it did
03:31flung her around they sent out a group of hunters with hound dogs to follow lion tracks from the
03:39location of the attack to another area where they're currently trying to locate the lion
03:43as of yesterday they hadn't found it yet i got an idea we'll put sally out on a rock all right
03:50and then it'll come back to kill her and then we try to hit it again with paddles it's a good idea
03:58oh god it got sally we we were too slow that was a terrible idea
04:03it's much faster than us it's so quick it's very fast they say it's crucial for people to take
04:12additional precautions such as avoiding wildlife and other unknown animals that have been previously
04:19exposed hang in there you'll be all right hey tom yeah tom can you grab sally's arms
04:30i'll get him get her arms i gotta put some pressure on it completely off of her yep
