A necropsy revealed the mountain lion that attacked a 5-year-old boy at Malibu Creek State Park earlier this month was slightly underweight and had an empty stomach at the time of the attack. The lion, identified as a female just over a year old, was shot by park rangers after attacking the boy.
A mountain lion that was put down by park rangers after it attacked a 5-year-old boy in Malibu Creek State Park earlier this month was identified as a slightly underweight female just over a year old. The lion weighed nearly 53 pounds and had nothing in her stomach during the attack, according to the necropsy results released from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife last week. The lion was roughly 12 to 16 months old and 3 to 5 pounds underweight for her age, officials said.
Officials pointed to a fatal mountain lion attack in 2004, where a big cat killed a mountain biker in Orange County and then nearly killed a woman hours later. While Californians fell in love with famed mountain lion P-22, a male who managed to coexist with humans while living in Griffith Park, that big cat was part of an ongoing study and was collared. P-22 roamed the hillsides around the residential neighborhoods over the years, but there were no reported attacks on humans.
