A mountain lion has been euthanized after attacking a 3-year-old boy in a Southern California wilderness park on Monday, authorities say.
A family of six was out for a walk at the Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park in Orange County when the animal approached, according to the Orange County Fire Authority. The young boy was leading the family when a mountain lion grabbed the boy by the neck and began dragging him away, OCFA Capt. Tony Bommarito said. The boy's quick-thinking dad threw his backpack at the animal, distracting it. The mountain lion dropped the boy, grabbed the bag and climbed up a tree.
