"Identified: Brothers in Fatal California Mountain Lion Attack"
TL;DR Summary
Two brothers, Taylen and Wyatt Brooks, were attacked by a mountain lion while combing a forested area for deer antlers in Northern California, resulting in Taylen's death and severe injuries to Wyatt. The last known fatal cougar attack in California occurred in 2004. Taylen, 21, was described as a kind and gentle soul who enjoyed fishing and playing the guitar, while 18-year-old Wyatt is expected to make a full recovery. Fatal attacks by mountain lions are rare, but encounters between humans and these animals are expected to increase due to habitat shrinkage and human development.
