Wildlife officials say they're searching for a mountain lion that clawed a man’s head while he was seated in a hot tub with his wife at a rental home in central Colorado
NATHROP, Colo. — — Wildlife officials said Monday they are searching for a mountain lion that clawed a man's head while he was sitting in a hot tub with his wife at a rental home in central Colorado.
“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,” said Sean Shepherd, area wildlife manager based in Salida. “The couple did the right thing by making noise and shining a light on the lion."
