The final necropsy report of the mountain lion killed by Colorado trail runner Travis Kauffman estimates the age of the lion at three to four months.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The final necropsy report of the mountain lion killed by Colorado trail runner Travis Kauffman estimates the age of the lion at three to four months.
The necropsy went on to say the"pattern of scavenging is reminiscent of feline predation.'' One identifiable set of teeth marks in the dead animal matched the size of the dead animal's teeth, likely indicating the dead lion was partially eaten by its siblings, which is a lion behavior. Kauffman said at a press conference held in Fort Collins on Feb. 14, 10 days after the attack, that he feared he would be attacked by other mountain lions in the area. He said he especially feared the mother of the lion he killed would confront him.
Wildlife officials did not immediately respond to a question regarding if any blood from Kauffman was found on the animal. His story garnered international attention due to the rarity of a person being attacked by a mountain lion and, even more rare, the person being attacked killing the predator.
