A wildlife photographer in Orange County had a dangerously close encounter with a mountain lion as he hiked a trail to retrieve a camera he uses to monitor mountain lions.
Mark Girardeau recorded a video of a mountain lion named Uno walking up to him and then past him on a trail in the Trabuco Canyon area.
The encounter occurred on Wednesday, and Girardeau said it was the third time in five years that he has had a close encounter with Uno. He recognized the animal from the tag on its ear, collar and injured right-eye. Girardeau can be heard yelling "Get back! Get back!" at the mountain lion just feet away from him and a woman walking the trail alongside him. The mountain lion stood and stared at the scientist, who has had cameras set up on the trail where the encounter occurred for a while now.
They continue to walk even as they realize the mountain lion is still following them from inside the brush.Despite the dangerous encounters, Girardeau said he does not blame Uno.
