Mothers might not seem like the toughest bunch, but they’ve been known to have some superhuman reactions when someone or something threatens to harm their babies.
One Aspen, Colorado mother had let her two little boys play outside on a beautiful afternoon, but wasn’t worried as she was only a few feet away inside the house taking care of some chores. However, her heart dropped when she heard her oldest son’s screams from outside.
He immediately came bursting inside, and told his mom that his 5-year-old brother was getting attacked by a fox. Yet, when she ran outside, she saw a vicious mountain lion standing over her little boy.
Mom got a burst of adrenaline, and didn’t hesitate to pull the lion’s paw off her son, reach into the lion’s mouth, and pry his head free.
She rushed her little boy to the hospital rather than wait for police, and while the 5-year-old still had injuries to his head, neck, and face, they could have been much worse if mom hadn’t stepped in. “She was able to pry the cat’s jaws open,” Deputy Michael Buglione said. “She’s a hero.”
Watch the entire video below to see the moment police found the wild animal back at the family’s home.
