Dutch Faro was hiking near Pyramid Lake north of Los Angeles recently when he caught movement in his peripheral vision, prompting him to turn around. When he did, he came face-to-face with a charging mountain lion.
“When I turned around and really got a look at it, I could tell it was a … cougar,” Faro told the Sacramento Bee.
With seconds to react, Faro yelled “hey” and then acted on “primal instinct.”
