The brothers from Mount Aukum, California, were looking for shed antlers before they were both attacked.
Authorities have identified the brothers who were attacked, one fatally, by a mountain lion in Northern California during the weekend.
"We are all devastated by the tragic loss of Taylen yet thankful Wyatt is still with us and are well-aware the outcome could have been even worse," their family said in a statement released Monday."These two young men being as close as any two brothers could be, lived a full energetic life enjoying the outdoors."
California's Department of Fish and Wildlife said its wardens found the cougar and euthanized it. Mountain lions in the state have attacked humans previously, but the last fatal encounter was in 2004 in Orange County, according to a verified list kept by the agency.
