A rabid bobcat attacked a children’s camp leader as he slept in a hammock at a state park, according to the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection
The man was guiding an overnight youth camping expedition at Selden Neck State Park in Lyme at the time of the attack early Friday, the department said in an email Saturday. He and two other adults, who are seasonal staff members of the Connecticut Department of Children and Families’ Wilderness School, killed the animal after the attack, authorities said.
None of the other campers had contact with the bobcat, according to the statement. Their expedition to the island park on the Connecticut River was led by the school, which is “a prevention, intervention and transition program for adolescents from Connecticut,” according to their website. The expeditions range from between one and 20 days, the statement said. The group was in an authorized area for camping when the attack occurred, Williams said in the statement.
