An 18-year-old was attacked but survived a mountain lion encounter in Northern California.

The attack, which occurred during an antler-hunting trip, resulted in the death of his older brother.

The survivor sustained facial injuries but is anticipated to recover fully after multiple surgeries.

The mountain lion involved in the attack was euthanized for a DNA test and health analysis.

This incident marks California's first fatal mountain lion attack in twenty years, since 2004.
