Cougar bites child in Malibu, chases family members

A mountain lion bit an 11-year-old girl outside her home in Malibu on Sunday and then proceeded to chase her mother and sibling before it was killed by authorities, according to state wildlife officials.

The girl was doing her chores near a chicken coop on the property in the 32500 block of Pacific Coast Highway when the mountain lion pounced, according to California Department of Fish and Wildlife spokesperson Peter Tira.

It attacked her from behind, knocking her onto her stomach and biting her right arm, leg and lower back, Tira said. The girl’s mother was nearby and heard her child’s screams and ran over with one of the girl’s siblings.

“That’s when the mountain lion proceeded to chase the mother and the sibling,” Tira said.
