Dad hailed as hero after mountain lion bites 4-year-old in Olympic National Park in Washington state
A mountain lion bit a 4-year-old who was walking with their family over the weekend on a popular trail in Olympic National Park in Washington state, park officials say.
A child attacked by a mountain lion at Washington's Olympic National Park is being treated in Seattle. Rangers eliminated the threat after locating the cougar.
“Timed or motion sensor alarms with flashing lights, loud noises and sprinklers may work on mountain lions, and can also provide an added bonus of scaring other pesky neighbors who show up uninvited,” the Mountain Lion Foundation said.
