"I heard this cracking in the bushes and I looked back and I could see this cougar leaping at Paul and just getting his jaws set on Paul's head," he said in an interview.

"Then they fell to the ground together."

Krismer, who was about 20 yards (meters) away, said he sprinted to his son, who was on the ground with the cougar, and jumped with both feet on top of the cat.

"I just leaped off a log which was at a height over the two of them ... and came down very forcefully on the cougar's chest with both feet," he said.

That caused the cougar to release the boy and flee into the bushes, Krismer said.

1. What a great story...

...and how cute is this?

"A 4 1/2-year-old boy who survived a cougar attack while on a family camping trip at a remote Vancouver Island park is mad at the big cat, his father said Wednesday."

Bad kitty! Bad, bad kitty!

I have two girls--ages 5 and--and I can fully appreciate this.

Like you said, malaise, what a great dad. I can only imagine the amount of adrenaline in that
guys' body!!

4. Yes that was instinctive

protection of a child. That's 100% unconditional love.

This deserves more coverage than the JBR story but decency and love apparently don't help MSM ratings.
