很难想像图片里的母亲，可以徒手掰开一头美洲狮的嘴巴，但是事情就这样发生了。
上周，一头饥饿的美洲狮死死地咬住了一个七岁小男孩的前臂。在听到儿子的呼救后，妈妈切尔西不顾危险跑过来，奋力撬开了美洲狮的下巴，最终救下了儿子。
Chelsea Lockhart’s son was playing outside the family’s Vancouver Island home Friday when she heard a fence rattle in the backyard. Then came sounds of a struggle.
上周五 Chelsea Lockhart 在家，她的儿子正在家门口玩耍。这时她突然听到后院传来一阵骚动，接着是儿子的叫喊声。
The mother bolted outside to see her son, Zachery, 7, on the ground with a young cougar attached to his arm, the network reported.

“I had a mom instinct, right?” Lockhart said. “I just leaped on it and tried to pry its mouth open.”
Lockhart 说：” 我有做母亲的本能，所以我跳了上去，想把它的下巴撕开。”
With her fingers fish-hooked inside the cougar’s mouth, Lockhart began “praying in tongues” and “crying out to the Lord,” she told CTV News.
她的手指就像鱼钩一样伸进了美洲狮的嘴里。心里不断地向上帝祈求。
尽管力量悬殊，美洲狮居然奇迹般地松口了。
She couldn ’ t pry open the jaw as the creature had clenched on the boy too hard, but their screams scared the cougar, forcing it to flee the scene.

救援人员在几分钟后赶到，将母亲和孩子送到了医院。Zachery 的头上有一个 1.5 英寸（3.81 厘米）的伤口，但是应该会很快痊愈。
负责管理野生动物的官员随后抓捕了 2 只在逃的美洲狮，对它们实施了安乐死。
Both cougars – perhaps brothers – were euthanized, CTV news reported. An examination suggested the animals were likely starving at the time of the attack.
这两只美洲狮也许是兄弟俩，都被实施了安乐死。检查显示这两只美洲狮当时应该是很饿，所以才会咬人。
