Named to signify its status as a refinement of the previous OS X version, Lion, Apple's stated aims in developing Mountain Lion were to allow users to more easily manage and synchronise content between multiple Apple devices and to make the operating system more familiar. OS X Mountain Lion was released on July 25, 2012, for purchase and download through Apple's Mac App Store, as part of a switch to releasing OS X versions online and every year, rather than every two years or so. Three people have been killed in three separate attacks in the state since 1990.ĬNN’s Rebekah Riess contributed to this report.OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8) is the ninth major release of macOS, Apple Inc.'s desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. The mountain lion attack on the 11-year-old girl marked the 25th to result in injury to a person in Colorado since 1990, the release stated. Prior to this year’s two attacks in Chaffee County, Colorado had not reported a mountain lion attack on a human since February 2022, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “I do not believe there is a pattern here.” “Both of these incidents are highly unusual,” Shepherd said. In March, a mountain lion attacked a man relaxing in a hot tub at a rental property in Nathrop, also in Chaffee County. “Mountain lion attacks are rare, but we can’t take any chances when any predator makes contact with a human,” Shepherd said. Officials are investigating whether the animal had rabies, highly pathogenic avian influenza or another infection that may have influenced its behavior. The animal’s remains were sent to a Colorado Parks and Wildlife animal health lab in Fort Collins for examination. The child was treated at a Chaffee County hospital and released.

Responding wildlife officers quickly euthanized the animal, officials said. It swatted the girl, leaving her with a puncture wound on her face, according to officials. The “small, sub-adult mountain lion” was still inside the wire mesh coop. The child encountered the animal in her family’s wooden hen house Wednesday night at their rural home southwest of Buena Vista, about 94 miles west of Colorado Springs.Īs she entered to check on the chicken coop, she found a dead chicken, Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials said in a news release. Wildlife officials in Colorado have euthanized a young mountain lion this week after the animal swatted and injured an 11-year-old girl in a “rare” attack. ![]()
