Glad she is okay for all intents and purposes. Could have turned out differently.

It is very lucky that the little girl escaped from the attack.
Take care of yourself and your children when you go camping.

Inexperienced sub adult. Cougars are efficient killing machines once they reach adulthood.

Unless they do DNA test or something similar, I don't see how they can be positive they got the cougar who attacked the girl. I do know of a couple bear incidents where they turned out to have killed the wrong individual animal after the DNA tests came back.

My son (aka "PantherBait") appreciates so many sharing this article with him. He got his name while camping and hiking at Guadalupe Mountain NP when he was about 8 or 9 years old. He would hike much faster than the adults, but because of the mountain lion sightings in the area, we wanted him to stay close and would yell "Hey PantherBait! Wait up!!" I don't think he ever recognized the risk was real, until now, 10 years later reading this article.
