Canadian mother Maureen Lee has fought off a cougar that leapt onto her daughter during a walk in the woods with her bare hands. Seeing her child pinned she dove between the two and threw the large cat off before scooping up her child and running.
Her three-year-old daughter, who thought the animal just wanted to play, is recovering nicely from puncture wounds on her head and arm. The cougar fared less well - conservation officers located it and killed it.

Tagging cougars was practically a hobby of mine.
Then I got married.

Exactly! One a day is unbelievable. I’ve hunted deer and elk over fifty years and never seen a cougar in the wild, of course the ones in the wild fear man.

Sounds to me as though the mother tagged the cougar pretty good.

If she'd wrestled a cougar off her son it wouldn't be news. (Or appreciated.)

In the absence of tags, I’m guessing the same way they’d identify a human perp - pawprints, distinguishing features, blood splatters, etc.

Theyre not allowed to carry guns for protection, are they? And know how to use them, of course. Fortunate toddler and very brave Mama. Sorry about the Mountain Lion (cougar, catamount, etc) death. But we can't have kitties killing toddlers.

It was probably a mothers instinct plus a gallon of adrenlin. That makes up for the difference between species in this case...
