In a shocking incident at Malibu Creek State Park, a mountain lion attacked a 5-year-old boy during a family picnic, highlighting safety concerns in wilderness areas.
The child's brave father ran towards the mountain lion, prompting it to release his son, who sustained significant but non-life-threatening injuries during the attack.
Following the attack, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed the mountain lion posed a public safety threat, leading to its removal.
Mayor Alicia Weintraub emphasized the importance of park safety for residents, stating that families should not have to fear wild animal attacks in recreational areas.
