Seeing a large, wild animal in the Angeles National Forest in Azusa was one of the most frightening moments of my life. I went bungee jumping with a group of 20-30 people...the bungee jump company lead us on a hike 4.5 miles through the mountains to the jump spot. Halfway through the hike, we're at least 1000 ft up on the side of a mountiain.....we see a huge mountain sheep up above us that looked like this

it looked at us with a menacing stare....bowed his head...and barreled directly towards us.....

the bungee jump guy started freaking out.....so we all started freaking out...


thankfully, it ran around us, and continued running down the mountain...

those sheep can run full speed on 70 degree slopes...it looks like they're defying gravity

Most encounters with bears, they are just as surprised as we are in that moment. Attacks are either territorial or predatory. The "play dead" tactic is for those instances where its territorial and you want to be submissive and make yourself as little a threat as possible for the bear to be " :rudy: He ain't on shyt." However playing dead with a hungry bear on the hunt you actually do the exact opposite and be aggressive as possible, otherwise when you play dead he's just ":leon: Oh forreal? 'Preciate the plate you made breh. :takedat:"

"After it had gnawed my head awhile, I decided to open my eyes and look at what was killing me. It's expression was so bland and businesslike it enraged me, so I managed to jab my thumb into its piggy little eye and it let go of my face long enough for me to yell for my dogs. Once the dogs came running, it was diverted long enough for me to get up"
