Yup, we had one biker eaten and a second nearly killed, by the same cat, on two successive days last month. The cat hid by the trail and bit bikers on the head as they peddled past. It was the feline equivalent of pizza home delivery. The park is called a "wilderness park", but it's actually very close to residential developments in Orange County. Eastern Orange County abuts the Cleveland National Forest where the cats can roam and hunt deer. It's likely that this cat was driven from its home range by the massive wildfires we had last October, and was probably starving. Black bears aren't usually a problem. They mostly just tear campsites apart if someone is foolish enough to leave food laying about. Brown bears on the other hand- those are grizzlies, and they will tear you apart as well as your camp. The last California Golden Bear, a brownie, was killed not far from where the cat ate the biker. But that was nearly a hundred years ago.
