A three-year-old boy is safe after being attacked by a mountain lion in Lake forest, California on Monday.
The mountain lion grabbed the child by the neck and dragged him away from his family of six just after 4 p.m. Monday.
The boy's father threw a backpack at the lion, which made the animal drop the child and snatch the bag before climbing up a tree.
The boy was taken to a local hospital, and is now in stable condition.
The mountain lion was later tracked down and euthanized by Orange County fire officials.
