A 5-year-old boy was attacked by a mountain lion at a state park in California.

Over Labor Day weekend in a California state park, a 5-year-old boy was hospitalized after being assaulted by a mountain lion.

According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), the incident happened on Sunday afternoon while a Woodland Hills family was enjoying a picnic at Malibu State Creek Park in the Santa Monica foothills of Southern California. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office claimed that the group was in the park's Tapia Day Use section.

A mountain lion attacked a five-year-old boy when the kids were playing close to the family's picnic table, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The youngster was set free after "one or more adults charged at the lion," according to officials. "Significant but non-life-threatening injuries" were sustained by the kid.

Early on Monday, the kid who had been transported to Northridge Hospital Medical Center was released.
Witnesses saw the lion ascend a neighboring tree following the incident, and it stayed there until rangers from California State Parks came.

The mountain lion was put to death by a ranger using a pistol after rangers and CDFW wildlife officers conferred and it was found to be a "threat to public safety."

According to the CDFW, wildlife agents got in touch with the victim's relatives at the hospital in order to "obtain evidence samples from the bite and scratch wounds and the victim's clothing." The Wildlife Forensic Lab of CDFW in Sacramento verified the DNA match between those samples.

"CDFW and State Parks officials are thankful that the family is safe, and the child is recovering and no one else was injured," CDFW said.

Ozempic Weight-loss drugs to Slow Down Ageing Process, scientists suggest

Drugs for weight loss have the potential to completely transform healthcare by delaying the aging process and extending life expectancy and quality of life. Leading scientists have made this stark statement in response to research that were presented at the European Society of Cardiology Conference in London last week. Studies have already shown that semaglutide , which is marketed under the names Ozempic and Wegovy , lowers the risk of death in patients with cardiovascular disease who are overweight or obese. However, more recent research has shown that Ozempic has effects that go beyond what was once thought to be possible for the medication. Researchers found that those who took the medication died at a decreased rate from all causes, not just cardiovascular ones. "Semaglutide has far-reaching benefits beyond what we initially imagined," Yale School of Medicine Professor Harlan Krumholz stated. It goes beyond just preventing heart attacks. They are advocates for ...

A newly developed weight-loss drug can be the next big thing in medicine or the biggest health danger.

The introduction of GLP-1 agonists , a family of drugs that were first created to treat type 2 diabetes but have now achieved unheard-of popularity due to their effectiveness in helping patients lose weight , is one example of such innovation. Some medications, like semaglutide , have drawn notice for their capacity to assist patients in losing large quantities of weight, enhancing blood sugar regulation , and lowering their risk of cardiovascular disease. The quick spread of these drugs, despite their evident advantages, raises questions about long-term effects, dependency, and the wider ramifications for our relationship with food and health. GLP-1 agonists function by imitating the actions of glucagon-like peptide-1, a hormone that slows stomach emptying, raises insulin production, and lowers glucagon release. As a result, these drugs have a remarkable ability to lower hunger , induce satiety , and improve glycemic control , all of which contribute to weight loss and the manag...
