  • She was just protecting her, her cubs.

  • And so I just went back and back and back before I decided to grab a rock around like that 5 5.5 minute mark.

  • So you throw the rock?

  • Did that give you enough breathing space to then make your way away from the cats?

  • Oh, yes, I Once I throw the rock, it started with her enough.

  • And she left.

  • And I kind of bending down.

  • That's when you see at the end of the like, Whoa, So that just happened, Because I was I was just so surprised.
