And for the second kind, we can find: spun around to the others (Paragraph 16); ran towards the lion, charging at the animal, kicking its muscular side as hard as I could, kicked again and again, even punched it with all my might (Paragraph 17); and slammed my foot into the cougar's whiskered face, pulled back to boot it again, charged at it (Paragraph 18).
