O.J. Martinez and his daughter, Skyla, recently came upon a mountain lion in the wilderness, and Martinez called the experience “truly unbelievable.” He shared footage of the mountain lion approaching them on Instagram. In the video, the animal walks up the trail toward the pair, then it stops and watches them calmly.
