In the face of the ferocious and brutal cougar, in order to protect his wife and children from harm, the husband bravely stood between the cougar and his wife. But the protected wife did not turn around and run away regardless, but chose to face the "King of Beasts" and fight him to the death...

  Disaster

  Laura, 38, lives in Compton, California, USA. 10 years ago, she resigned to become a full-time wife at the urging of her husband Stanley, who was promoted to the development manager of the real estate company. In order to give her husband more space for career development, the empathetic Laura took on all family affairs. With her full support, the worry-free Stanley has become a well-known figure in the real estate industry.

  In the early summer of 2009, Laura and Stanley brought a pair of children to the charming national forest park - Prairie Creek Redwood Park.

  Looking at his wife and children, Stanley pointed to a bulletin board on the side of the road and said, "Prairie Creek Redwood Park is the most active place for cougars, so we'd better be careful." The bulletin board read: "Do not enter the park. Deep down, watch out for cougars!" Laura smiled disapprovingly: "This park has been established for decades, and there has never been a cougar attack. We can't teach children to be timid."

  With the expectant eyes of his children and the incitement from his wife, Stanley, who was also curious about the jungle, decided to march deep into the jungle. The Laura family, who were shuttling under the towering ancient trees, gradually put aside their initial vigilance and indulged in the magical scenery nurtured by nature. Unconsciously they were getting farther and farther away from the starting point, but unexpectedly the danger was getting closer and closer.

  Stanley looked at his watch and saw that it was already afternoon, and if they continued inward, it would be difficult for them to get back to their starting point before dark. Thinking of this, he said to Laura, "We should go back!" After walking for most of the day, Laura and her children were a little tired, and decided to sit down and take a nap before walking out of the jungle in one breath.

  They had just sat down on the rocks under the big tree when the sound of fallen leaves being trampled came not far away. The sensitive Stanley felt that danger was approaching them, and hurriedly sat beside his wife and a pair of children, fully alert. But before he could tell them his worries, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in the jungle. Stanley said to Laura and a pair of children, whose faces changed greatly, "Hurry up and hide, there must be a cougar approaching us." But before they could hide, a cougar about 1.8 meters long and over 1 meter tall flashed out from behind the tree, his fierce eyes staring at them.

  In the face of the sudden appearance of the ferocious cougar, Laura and a pair of children were suddenly blinded, frozen in place at a loss.

  Seeing this scene, Stanley said eagerly: "Run!" Laura wanted to take a step and take a pair of children away from this dangerous place. However, the roar of the "King of Beasts" made her and a pair of children weak. The fear shown by the family in front of the cougar made Stanley very worried. At this time, there was only one thought in his mind: "No matter what, the murderous cougar cannot endanger the safety of the family. As a man, I will do my best to protect them." Thinking of this, Stanley stood across Laura and a pair of children, ready to resist the cougar's attack with flesh and blood, leaving time for them to escape to safety.

  Looking at her husband standing in front of her, Laura woke up from her fright. At this moment, the tall cougar suddenly stopped its approaching footsteps and stood still 30 meters away.

  The cougar looked at them and let out a majestic roar from time to time, as if to express dissatisfaction with their encroachment on its territory. In the majestic roar of the cougar, the withered leaves on the tree fell straight. Several fallen leaves landed on the cougar, and it became even more annoyed. Laura found that the cougar's initially stretched body was slowly tightening. She, who likes watching animal shows, knows that this is the prelude to the cougar's attack.

  At a close call, Stanley, who felt that the situation was not good, said to Laura and a pair of children: "When the cougar attacked, I diverted it away, and you quickly fled to a safe place. Don't worry about me, I have a way to avoid it!"

  Life is on the line

  Hearing her husband Stanley's words, Laura looked at the terrified children, grabbed them with both hands, turned and ran towards the edge of the park. She didn't want to leave her husband alone, because she knew that she and the children were running slower than him, and they didn't want to be a burden to him. Although cougars are fierce, their stamina for attacking runs is limited, and if their family can hold on for a few minutes without them getting caught, they may avoid this terrible danger.

  The flight of Laura and the children stimulated the cougar. It stared at Stanley and let out a thunderous roar again. Laura, who was running away, was nervous in the earth-shattering roar of the cougar, but she did not look back. At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind: "Never let the cougar hurt the children!"

  After a majestic roar, the cougar kicked its hind legs on the wet ground and rushed towards Stanley. In the face of the aggressive cougar, Stanley was extremely nervous. In an instant, the cougar rushed in front of him. Although scared, thinking of the safety of his wife and children, he did not choose to back down, but bravely stretched out his hands to stop the cougar. However, in front of the cougar weighing more than 100 kilograms, the strength of Stanley's hands seemed too weak. The cougar opened its bloody mouth and slammed into one of Stanley's outstretched hands. The smell of flesh doubly stimulated its wildness, and it bit him harder and harder. Stanley's hand bone was broken in the cougar's merciless bite. But Stanley was a man who would never admit defeat, and as the cougar bit the arm of one hand, his other hand fought back against the cougar, beating it hard on the head.

  For the powerful cougar, Stanley's counterattack was not very effective. But his counterattack brought another consequence. As the "king of beasts", the cougar did not expect the person in front of him to counterattack it, and his madness was even more stimulated. After a roar, he shook his head vigorously, and Stanley, who weighed more than 100 catties, swung his head under it., was thrown to the ground. Stanley was bitten in more pain. Stanley couldn't help it any longer and screamed in pain on the ground. Amid the scream, the cougar released his arm and turned to bite him on the head.

  Laura, who was desperately trying to escape danger with a pair of children, slowed down amid her husband's sudden screams, and couldn't help but look back: Stanley fell to the ground, and the huge mouth of the cougar was biting his head tightly...

  Enduring the pain and use the other uninjured hand to press hard against the cougar's neck, preventing the cougar who bit his neck from opening his mouth to bite him.

  Looking at the danger faced by her husband Stanley, Laura felt dizzy, but she tried her best to say to herself: "Calm down, you must calm down!" She knew that if she continued to choose to flee at this time, the cougar who attacked her husband would definitely not have time to attack her., then she can successfully escape to safety with the children. But Laura knew that she could no longer escape. The husband who was bitten by the cougar on the head, if there is no external help, the pain and exhaustion will make him more and more powerless over time. If this continues, he will eventually die in the cougar's mouth.

  The situation is getting worse and worse for Stanley, who was bitten on the head by the cougar. If he doesn't rescue him in time, he won't be able to last long. Escaping is life, and turning back to help her husband may be death, but she can't take the children into danger. She looked left and right and found that she was standing under a big tree with the children at the moment. Thinking that cougars can't climb trees, Laura tried her best to get a pair of children to climb the tree and told them not to get off the tree easily. Then, she leaned over to pick up a wooden stick about 10 centimeters thick on the ground and rushed towards the cougar that was tightly biting her husband's head.

  Fight back bravely

  When rushing towards the fierce cougar, Laura was obsessed with the safety of her husband Stanley. Her mind was spinning quickly, thinking about what part of the cougar to hit with a wooden stick can effectively alleviate her husband's dangerous situation. Laura knew that the big mouth of the cougar was biting her husband's head tightly at the moment. If you hit its body, the strike force will definitely not be enough, and any animal, the head is the most vulnerable. Therefore, Laura decided to beat the cougar on the head with a wooden stick to let go of Stanley in pain.

  Rushing in front of the cougar, Laura raised the wooden stick in her hand and smashed the cougar with all her strength. However, after the stick hit, the cougar did not let go of the mouth that was biting Stanley, but instead stared at Laura with fierce eyes, looking like she was about to pounce on her. Laura was not frightened by the cougar's vicious eyes. The cougar's vicious eyes instead sparked anger deep in her heart. She desperately raised the stick again and beat the mighty cougar. The result disappointed Laura, and the cougar still did not let go under her random blow. Laura, who was weaker, was out of breath. Looking at her husband struggling under the cougar's mouth, Laura became flustered.

  At this time, Stanley under the cougar's mouth shouted to Laura: "I have a pen in my pocket, you quickly poke it in the eye with the pen." The cougar's neck was held tightly by Stanley's uninjured hand. It was very inconvenient to move. Laura approached her husband cautiously, reached out and took out a black pen from his pocket. After seeing Laura take out the pen, Stanley held back the severe pain and said again: "Quickly poke it in the eye with the tip of the pen."
