The mountain lion, identified as a slightly underweight female around a year old, was put down after attacking a 5-year-old boy at Malibu Creek State Park.
Despite being slightly underweight, the lion appeared relatively healthy with no signs of rabies or other significant illnesses, raising questions about her behavior.
Experts emphasized that the decision to kill the mountain lion was made out of safety concerns for the public, especially regarding potential future attacks.
The Malibu Creek State Park incident marked the 24th recorded mountain lion attack in California since 1986, reminding the public of the inherent risks.
