A man was attacked by a mountain lion while relaxing in a hot tub at a rental property in Colorado, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
“Although this victim had only minor injuries, we take this incident seriously,” area wildlife manager Sean Shepherd said in a news release. The victim said he felt something grab his head while he was in the hot tub with his wife on March 18. The two were staying at a rental home in a heavily wooded area around five miles west of Nathrop, Colorado. “He and his wife began screaming and splashing water at the animal,” said Colorado Parks and Wildlife in the news release.
But “no mountain lion tracks could be found due to the freezing temperatures and frozen snow on the ground,” said the agency. They sat traps nearby the rental property. This was the first mountain lion attack on a human in Colorado in a year, says the department. It’s the 24th known attack of a mountain lion to cause injury to a human in Colorado since 1990.
