Rabies, or maybe just very hungry.
If it was a female who had just given birth, that could leave her depleted of energy. But such a condition (loose stomach area skin hanging down) would have been very obvious from the start.

Hate crime charge this afternoon? /sarc

Mountain lion hunting has been banned in Kalifornia for about 20 years. The population of lions has exploded. The fires drove them closer to human population areas. There will be more problems this Spring
“The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office said it responded late Monday afternoon to a 911 call from a couple with two small children in a stroller and two small dogs.”

My wife was in the emergency room when they brought one of those fatalities in. She said the animal hit its victim from behind at full speed to effect the kill. No biting and ripping the throat out, or anything like that. The victim's spine was completely severed and the heart was torn from its arteries (or was that singular?...artery...I can't remember). Other organs were also fatally injured, all from the collision itself. She said the X-rays were unbelievable, the organs were so badly jumbled up.
This might be a seasonal thing.

They were just getting a CAT scan.
