NOTE: COMMENTS ARE NOW DISABLED What started as a family vacation quickly took a turn for the worst after a six-year-old boy is attacked by a mountain lion in Big Bend National Park. "We weren't on a trail or down in the woods we were on a sidewalk between the restaurant and hotel," explains Rivers Hobbs' father, Jason. The Hobbs family drove in from Austin, hoping to enjoy the outdoors in Big Bend National Park. But their vacation was cut short. "It snuck up on me," claims 6-year-old Rivers. "It" was a mountain lion, sneaking up on Rivers just feet from the Chisos Mountain Lodge where they were staying. "It had a hold of his face...the cat was clamped on his face. I reached down and got my knife out and stabbed the cat in the chest and it let go at that point," Jason says. The family immediately took action but they claims the lodge did just the opposite "I heard them say right in front of me that they were not going to tell the other people at the lodge that there was an attack and the lion is still at large," says Rivers' mom, Kristi Harris. Despite the gruesome stitches from his surgery, Rivers claims he didn't cry once. "Did it hurt?" we asked him. "No... not that bad," he replies. "Were lucky he's walking away with scars and it didn't get him by the neck," Jason says. David Elkowitz with the Big Bend National Park tells CBS 7 this was actually the second attack of the day in the same area. Elkowitz said the mountain lion tried to attack another family but was fended off by a backpack. Both families say the mountain lion looked "small, young and in bad shape." Park rangers began evacuating trails and campsites early today. Closed areas include the Chisos Basin, Window Trail, The Pinnacles, Boulder Meadow and Juniper Flats.

And if the knife used had really been some pos five dollar crap knife would everyone be giving it the same praise as the Spyderco is getting? I would've been impressed only if he had managed to kill the cat or have it bleed out an hour later. Neither has happened. The cat must be doing pretty good if they still haven't been able to find it.

Feb 9, 2012 - poor kid, what a trooper. Would have beatin' the living sh*t out of that cat. If I was 21 or older (CCW) I would have shot it. Jeez.

Feb 9, 2012 - Very fortunate outcome. Awesome job by the kids father to at least have a knife. Sadly most people don't even carry that. That kid was very lucky. I grew up in big cat country and it seemed that every year or so a kid would be attacked and killed by a mountain lion. Especially during the winter. Funny thing is some people think I'm nuts for carrying a firearm anytime I'm in a State or National Park.

Feb 9, 2012 - "The lion looked small, and in bad shape" yeah, maybe coz some dude just stuck a Spyderco in it's chest lol Hopefully someone will bag that cat, mount it's head on a plinth, and gift it to the little boy. Poetic justice lol
