The National Park Service said this is the first time they’re aware of a mountain lion attacking a pet on a leash in the Los Angeles area.
A mountain lion that killed a Chihuahua on its leash after quietly stalking a dog walker in the Hollywood Hills earlier this month is the famed big cat P-22, the National Park Service confirmed Monday.
“Based on video footage and GPS tracking collar data, we know P-22 was the animal responsible for the attack,”The chances of a human being attacked by the cougar are still very slim, according to experts. The Park Service said this is the first time they’re aware of a mountain lion attacking a pet on a leash in the Los Angeles area, but there have been other incidents reported in Colorado and other parts of Southern California.“They are stealth predators,” she said. “They’re called ‘ghost cats’ for a reason. This is how they get their prey. It’s not like the vision of lions in Africa that chase down their prey on the plains.
