The man had four superficial scratches on the top of his head and near his right eye from the attack.
A mountain lion clawed at a man’s head as he and his wife were relaxing in a hot tub on a Colorado rental property this month, according to officials.
The man told authorities he felt something grab his wife before the terrified couple splashed water and screamed at the animal. The husband had four superficial scratches on the top of his head and near his right eye. Officers who inspected the wounds said it matched the claw of a mountain lion.The pair called the rental home’s owner, who happens to be a Colorado Parks and Wildlife officer, who then contacted the agency.
“We think it’s likely the mountain lion saw the man’s head move in the darkness at ground-level but didn’t recognize the people in the hot tub. The couple did the right thing by making noise and shining a light on the lion,” Shepherd said, adding the agency has alerted neighbors and posted signage to warn of lion activity.
