WASHINGTON: A nine-year-old American girl survived a very rare attack from a cougar during a camping trip in the western United States, wildlife officials and family members said on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila).

The feline attacked the girl, Lily Kryzhanivskyy, on the morning of May 28 while she was camping with her family in the US state of Washington, her uncle Alex Mantsevich wrote on GoFundMe, where he was trying to raise money to cover her medical expenses.
