Lion won’t be hunted after mysterious death of Sacramento mother.
State wildlife officials say they have no plans to try to trap or kill the cougar that fed on Wong. A forensic pathologist determined it was a cougar by using measurements of the bite marks. Steve Torres, who oversees the state’s wildlife investigations lab in Rancho Cordova, said there’s no evidence to suggest a lion that scavenges on a human corpse becomes more likely to hunt humans. Scavenging is normal for cougars, especially if animals are young, sick or frail.
