ZEBALLOS, B.C. (CP) - A four year old girl is in a Vancouver hospital with serious head and scalp injuries after a cougar attack on northern Vancouver Island.
"Family members intervened and they were able to break off the attack," conservation officer Peter Pauwels told CityTV.
The child was sent to Campbell River hospital before being airlifted to a Vancouver facility.
"She is expected to survive," Pauwels said.
He says conservation officers with dogs are now tracking the big cat.
