Monica Hylbert of Los Gatos said she heard strange founds from outside her home before 7 a.m. and looked out to see the two coyotes appearing to try to stop the cougar from moving forward.

Hylbert said she fled inside just as the mountain lion appeared ready to pounce. She said all three animals were later spotted fleeing. The non-profit Mountain Lion Foundation said it was rare for humans to witness such a confrontation. "It's not everyday that a person gets to witness two carnivores interacting like this!" the foundation said.
