A family of four mountain lions was spotted passing through Big Dalton Canyon in Glendora last week and it was all caught on camera.
When mountain lion enthusiast Robert Martinez reviewed footage from his trail camera, he discovered the family of four mountain lions that passed through the area the morning of Friday Oct. 17.
"I almost didn’t believe what I was seeing, like I was seeing double on my video," Martinez said. "I couldn’t believe four cats were just there."
As Martinez continued to review footage, he discovered that another male mountain lion passed by later that night – a lion he believes is following the family.
Martinez said he was "really excited" about the discovery. He says his trail cameras are set up specifically to track mountain lions. Martinez said that one of the lions was so close to the camera, you could hear him or her breathing and see the lion’s teeth and whiskers.
“It’s a hobby and a passion, just for fun, the thrill of the chase," Martinez said. “I love the challenge of trying to follow their path, figure out where they might go next."
