A mountain lion attacked a man as he relaxed in a hot tub at a rental property in Chaffee County, Colorado, on March 18, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials., parks officials said the man and his wife had been sitting in an in-ground hot tub when"he felt something grab his head."
CPW said the"light and commotion" startled the animal, which retreated back as the two continued yelling at it. It eventually"moved up to the top of a hill near some rocks where it crouched down and continued to watch the couple." According to the release, the victim had"four superficial scratches on top of his head and near his right ear."
When officers arrived at the scene, they immediately searched for the mountain lion but there were no tracks due to the freezing temperatures and frozen snow on the ground. They said in the release they did not think tracking hounds would be successful either but set a trap nearby in hopes of catching the wild animal.
