Cougar Attacks Eight-Year-Old Boy at Lake Angeles
Port Angeles, Washington – A camping trip at Lake Angeles turned terrifying for an eight-year-old boy when he was attacked by a cougar. The incident took place on Saturday, July 29, and was reported to the Olympic National Park.
The boy and his family were camping in the Heart O’ the Hills area when the cougar surprised them. However, the attack was quickly halted when the child’s mother yelled at the animal. Park staff promptly responded and ensured the boy’s medical condition was stabilized.
Fortunately, the young boy suffered only minor injuries and was immediately transported to a nearby health center for further medical attention. As a precautionary measure, campers in the area were evacuated, and Heather Park will remain closed until further notice.
In a statement, the Olympic National Park explained that any puma found will be euthanized and examined to determine the reason behind the attack. Such occurrences are highly unusual, given the rarity of puma sightings and their aggression towards humans.
The Olympic National Park contains significant puma habitats, making encounters with these animals a possibility. Visitors are advised against walking or jogging alone, always keeping a close eye on children and staying in close proximity to adults. Additionally, the park recommends leaving pets at home and being alert to the surroundings while hiking.
Lake Angeles, located in the Heart O’ the Hills area of Olympic National Park, is a popular spot for camping and outdoor activities. It is situated south of Port Angeles, near Hurricane Ridge.
As investigations into both incidents continue, these incidents serve as reminders for visitors and park-goers to prioritize safety while partaking in recreational activities.
