According to a necropsy report released by Colorado wildlife officials,the mountain lion that was killed by a runner after he was attacked was actually what they termed a “kitten,” meaning a juvenile animal only approximately a few months obsolete, and according to The Coloradoan. Trail runner Travis Kauffman was attacked by the animal while running in the Rocky Mountain foothills outside of Fort Collins,Colorado, in February, and his story quickly went viral after footage of his bloodied face circulated on the internet.
