A Northern California hiker and his mother faced a harrowing moment recently when they were stalked by a mountain lion on a trail in the Mayacamas Mountains in Sonoma County. The hiker, known on Instagram as Wild Wild Rocks, shared a chilling account of the encounter that quickly escalated into a potential life-or-death situation. The hiker’s quick thinking and defensive actions potentially saved him and his mother from serious harm. While mountain lion attacks are extremely rare, this encounter is a reminder of the unpredictability of wildlife. In such situations, experts advise against running, recommending instead to make oneself as large as possible, yell, and throw objects to scare the animal away.
