Trail camera records mountain lion running at full tilt in California

A trail camera recorded a mountain lion running a high speed in the hills surrounding Los Angeles on February 19.

The cool clip shows the big cat leaping nimbly over a log in the San Gabriel Mountains and then racing past the camera.

The clip was filmed by "citizen scientist" Robert Martinez.

"With my cameras, I've been able to learn and see more than I ever thought possible," Martinez said.
