Visitors are warned to avoid the area around the Rancho San Antonio County Park and Open Space Preserve where a mountain lion attack was reported.
A nature preserve park in California's Santa Clara County has been temporarily closed after a 6-year-old girl was bitten in the leg by what is believed to be a mountain lion on Sunday morning. The child's injuries were minor. An investigation has been launched to locate and confirm the identity of the animal, which is thought to be an adult male lion, park authorities confirmed.
"The mountain lion came out of the bushes and reached for the girl, actually got her back leg with its claws and one of the friends of the family was able to push the lion away into the bushes and it took off running," said Brad Pennington, a superintendent with the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District , which manages the park, said .
If you see a mountain lion"you should remain calm, make yourself loud and large, and slowly back away," they added.
