Overview
- Marin Humane confirmed two attacks in Lucas Valley on Sept. 13 and 14, with both victims treated in an emergency department and released.
- Neighbors report at least five incidents involving what they describe as the same gold-brown squirrel, prompting warning flyers across the area.
- WildCare and Marin Humane say rabies is unlikely and cite habituation from feeding or hand-rearing as the most probable cause of the aggression.
- Marin Humane is coordinating with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife on next steps, including possible capture if the animal remains a public-safety risk.
- The Marin County Sheriff's Office told ABC News it could not independently confirm the reports, as residents are urged not to feed wildlife and to try scare tactics if approached.
