Park rangers warn that best practices when encountering a mountain lion are wildly different from those for brown bears via BBC

A recent mountain lion attack in California has left one hunter dead and another seriously injured. According to an El Dorado County Sheriff's Office statement, a teen called authorities early Saturday morning to report he and his 21-year-old brother were attacked while antler shed hunting. Authorities arrived on the scene and located the injured 18-year-old before finding the older brother, who was on the ground near the mountain lion. The Sherrif's Office reports their deputies shot in the air to scare away the mountain lion and rushed in to administer medical aid. However, they found the young man had succumbed to his injuries.
