Overview

• Marin Humane confirmed two bite incidents in the Lucas Valley area on Sept. 13 and 14 that led the victims to seek emergency care, though neither required admission.
• Neighbors report about five encounters and have posted warning flyers describing a distinctive caramel‑ or gold‑colored squirrel believed to be responsible.
• Victims Joan Heblack and Isabel Campoy described sudden attacks, including the squirrel clamping onto a leg and leaping toward a face, leaving visible lacerations.
• The Marin County Sheriff’s Office said it could not independently confirm the reported attacks when contacted by ABC News.
• WildCare says rabies is unlikely and urges residents not to feed wildlife; Marin Humane is consulting California Department of Fish and Wildlife and may pursue capture if aggression continues.
