Tiger Mom Bests Mountain Lion

Submitted by ub on

A Real Tiger Mom has successfully fought off a wild California mountain lion with her bare hands to save her 5-year-old son's life.

This fierce and protective mama reportedly punched the mountain lion because she knew best how to take care of the rest and became a true hero after she saved her child’s life. The kid is hospitalized in stable condition with injuries to his head and torso.

Afterward, California wildlife officials killed the mountain lion after the mother attacked it with her bare hands to save her 5-year-old son from being dragged away and eaten alive. Authorities have since confirmed through DNA tests that the mountain lion killed on Saturday was the animal that attacked the child.

Native to the Americas, its range spans from the Canadian Yukon to the southern Andes in South America and is the most widespread of any large wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere. This powerful predator roams the Americas, where it is also known as a panther, puma, mountain lion, and catamount.

The takeaway to this story is - Don’t ever mess with mom when her baby is in danger because she will fight like hell to protect her child’s avenger. The lion may be king, but mom is the real power breaker queen.
