A Vancover Island boy is credited with saving his 5 year old brother from an attack on monday when a cougar started stalking them in their back yard. After hustling his brother into a tool shed he called his mom for help. He is 6 years old

That is amazing! I doubt most adults could have kept their wits about them under those circumstances ....let alone a child.

Geez, they raise em smarter everyday don't they?
How scarey for them.
But this cat.... did anyone else see it and if it is stalking humans, isn't that a threat to someone else another day?
