"A mountain lion attack occurred on Feb. 5 in the Chisos Basin area of Big Bend National Park. A six-year-old boy received non-life-threatening injuries during the attack."
No other useful information.
FWIW, this is the first such attack in the last dozen or more years. In one of the three previous incidents, a similarly-aged child was attacked in this same general vicinity. The high Chisos have a good bit of timber cover. Fair population of deer and javelina.
