Final answer:

Martin does not experience an actual animal attack in the passages; his fears are described, with a rabbit causing him to panic and flee. The mention of a mountain lion in a separate scenario does not involve Martin.

Step-by-step explanation:

During his journey on the Black Road in the provided text excerpts, Martin does not encounter real animals attacking him; the passages rather describe his fear and imagination as a child lost in the woods. He first mistakes a moving object for a large animal, which could potentially be a bear, but then realizes it is not a threat as it lacked "the long, menacing ears of the rabbit." Later, he encounters a rabbit sitting in his path which causes him great fear, sending him into a panicked flight. Lastly, a different passage mentions a mountain lion encounter at night by a group of men, although there's no indication that Martin is part of this scenario. The text provides no clear evidence of an animal attack on Martin specifically, but emphasizes the manifestation of his fears in the context of animals.
