Fatal Mountain Lion Attack Leaves One Dead and Another Injured in California

In a rare incident, a mountain lion killed a man and injured his brother in a remote area of Northern California while they were searching for antlers. The younger brother called 911 to report the attack, and deputies found the mountain lion crouched next to the older brother, who unfortunately did not survive. Mountain lion attacks on humans are rare, with fewer than 50 verified attacks in California since 1890, and only six of them have been fatal. The mountain lion responsible for the attack was euthanized, and its remains were sent for DNA analysis and health assessment.
