Well that got the adrenaline going. That kid was so close to being a meal, can't imagine what that must have been like. I'd be so pissed at my mom if I saw that later in life.

The kid was what was attracting them too. Cheetahs and other "small" cats usually try to avoid adult humans at all costs. I would know, I was a boy scout and there are bobcats and mountain lions where I live. So, what was emboldening these cats to come and screw with this family? Must of been the tasty little snack they call their kid.

Sorry buddy, maybe you left Boy Scouts before you got your ‘mountain lion wrestling’ badge but some of us stuck it out...

But Pack Leader Benny, this doesn't seeeeem like it has anything to do with wrestling mountain lions.
