BUENA VISTA, Colo.—In Colorado’s mountains, an 11-year-old girl went to check on the family’s chickens in their wooden hen house Wednesday only to find a mountain lion that swatted at her face, leaving a small puncture wound on her cheek, according to wildlife officials.
The girl was treated and released from the hospital, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers arrived on scene to find the predator still in the wire mesh coop—where they killed it.
