The sheriff’s office said it is still waiting for the official cause of death from the El Paso County Coroner.
Deputies and investigators hiked around the area and did not find anything to identify the animal.
“At the time we are unable to verify what type of animal may be responsible for the attack, until further analysis is completed,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a post on Facebook.
The sheriff’s office advises residents in the area to “be vigilant and aware of your surroundings.”
