A girl was bitten on her arm and received other injuries on her leg and back in a mountain lion attack, according to California wildlife officials.

Authorities euthanized a mountain lion near the scene of attack and will test its DNA to see if it was the animal which attacked an 11-year-old in Malibu

The girl was hospitalized after she was bitten by a mountain lion a little before 6 p.m. near the Pacific Coast Highway, according to Los Angeles County deputies.
