A Canadian woman said her"mom instinct" took over last week when she fought off a cougar that mauled her 7-year-old son in their backyard.
She said she doesn't know where she gained the strength, but she fish-hooked the juvenile cougar by the mouth and managed to pry him off. "I knew that in my own power and in my own strength I wasn't going to be able to pry its mouth open, so I started praying in tongues. I'm just crying out to the Lord," she said."Three sentences into me praying, it released and it ran away."
Officials with the British Columbia Conservation Officer Service said they found two cougars, both juvenile males, about 20 yards away from the family's home. They were both hungry and looking for food, according to the service.
