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
