母愛力量如此偉大! 一女子徒手從美洲獅口救出5歲兒子!

A woman in Colorado has saved her five-year-old son by prying open a mountain lion's mouth after the animal attacked the boy in their front yard, officials say.

有關官員日前表示，在科羅拉多州，在一頭美洲獅攻擊自家前院的5歲兒子之後，一女性竟然撬開獅子嘴巴救出了兒子。

The mother heard screams and raced outside the house near Aspen, where she found the animal on top of her son, the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office said.

比特金郡警方表示，這家人住在阿斯彭附近，母親聽到孩子尖叫聲之後跑出屋外，赫然發現一頭美洲獅正撲在兒子身上。

The boy suffered face, head and neck injuries and was said to be in fair condition at a hospital in Denver.

這名男童的臉、頭和脖子都遭爪子抓傷，但總體情況還算好，現在丹佛的一家醫院治療。

The unidentified woman said she grabbed one of the animal's paws and stuck her right hand in its mouth to pry it open and free her son's head, Pitkin County Sheriff's Deputy Michael Buglione said.

有關方面未透露該女士的身份，據比特金郡警察局副局長邁克爾·伯格利奧內表示，這位母親上前去揪住了獅子的一隻爪子，並把右手伸到獅子口裏，把嘴撬開，使得她兒子的頭得以被放開。

The mother had bite marks on her hand and scratches on her leg after the lion, believed to be two years old, ran off, he added.

他補充說道，這位母親的手上和腿上都被咬傷了，不過隨後這頭看起來大約兩歲的獅子跑掉了。

Wildlife officials said they killed a young lion near the home and a second one found in the area several hours later.

野生生物機構的工作人員表示，他們在這所住宅附近殺了一頭小獅子，幾小時後又在這個區域殺死了另一隻。

Officials say sightings are increasing across Colorado, where an estimated 4,500 mountain lions live. The last known mountain lion attack in the state happened in July 2015 when a young animal attacked a man as he fished in a remote area in northwest Colorado, the wildlife department said.

有關方面表示，整個科羅拉多州估計有約4500頭美洲獅，近日他們在這裏出沒的越來越頻繁。該野生生物機構稱，該州最近一次的美洲獅襲擊人事件發生在2015年7月，當時一名男子在西北部的偏遠地區釣魚時被一隻小獅襲擊。
