To see what this was like at night, run

movie. (739kb)
These mountain lions were a full grown hunting pair and had snuck up on us about
9:30 at night, as our backs were to them. Only by luck did I get up to get
my water bottle and saw a glint of light behind us.... when I shone my headlamp
at the glint I was stunned by this sight...yes this is a doctored photo since
we weren't in the mood to take pics at the time. But this is how close
they were. Yikes
