New Mexico man attacked, eaten by mountain lion

PHOENIX (Reuters) - A mountain lion attacked, killed and partially ate a New Mexico man, authorities said on Tuesday.
A search party found the body of Robert Nawojski, 55, in a wooded area near his mobile home in Pinos Altos, New Mexico, late last week, the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish said.
Nawojski was reported missing by his brother last week. A search party found a mountain lion lurking near his home, and reported it to the Department of Game and Fish, who shot and wounded the animal.

After the lion ran off, the officer found the door to the mobile home open, the water running, and Nawojski's false teeth on the table.

From the report, it's hard to tell if he was outside the trailer, or if the cat actually came into the trailer and took him. Either way, it just goes to show that we all need to be alert and aware of our surroundings. Packing a handgun is a good idea, too. Personally, if I see a panther lurking around my homestead, I'm gonna do everything I can to kill it.
