That was quick - but probably no quicker than a grizzly or black bear predatory attack. Hard to get the pepper spray (or handgun) out in time, I'd say, eh?
There is a sporting show here every year, last year they had a bear mounted on rails about 30 feet away..promoted by a pepper spray manufacturer..the game, when you see the bear start to move you unholster the pepper spray and fire..NOT too many got it out it time before the bear was on them..was interesting to watch...allegedly the bear was moving at 25MPH..they can move much faster than that in a short burst..
Saw a leopard charge once in Africa that was in a concrete enclosure..one of my friends walked to one end and looked in a small opening..i was looking in from the other end. When the leopard saw my friend the charged. I have NEVER seen an animal move that fast in my life. Was shocked at the speed it traveled..
