Officials Euthanize Mountain Lions After Suspected Fatal Attack in Colorado

Colorado wildlife officials euthanized two mountain lions after discovering the body of a woman who died during a suspected predatory attack on a trail in Larimer County.Hikers found the victim on the Crosier Mountain trail and used stones to drive away a predator before Kara Van Hoose confirmed the animals will undergo testing for human DNA and diseases.The incident marks the first fatal mountain lion encounter in the state since 1999, prompting warnings from authorities even as local resident Gary Messina reported a similar close call on the same path last month.
