Animal attacks boy in New Mexico mountains
A 5-year-old boy hiking in the mountains of New Mexico with his family was attacked by a “large animal”. While the sheriff claimed it was a mountain lion, others aren’t so sure. Maybe it was Sasquatch?
[Jose Salazar Jr.’s] parents, Jose and Charlotte Salazar, saw the animal emerge from the brush and start dragging away their son, White said. The father tried to jump on the animal’s back, and it let go of the boy and fled.
White said Sunday that the animal was a mountain lion, but Ross Morgan, a spokesman for the state Department of Game and Fish, said dogs trained to track mountain lions picked up no scent in the area Saturday night or Sunday.
The sheriff’s report said the father could not say what type of animal attacked the child because it happened so fast.
