A man in Lucerne Valley, California received the surprise of his life when he and his wife went to the garage to do some washing on Sunday, only to find a mountain lion in the room.<br /><br />"We went to add more time to the dryer, and right next to us was a mountain lion," said the filmer, Sean Ishol. He said that he had to get out a pole for protection and " to save my wife [Bobbi]." He wielded the piece of PVC pipe as a weapon as they tried to slowly leave. <br /><br />"I can't believe we're alive," he told Newsflare. <br /><br />Unfortunately, the mountain lion wasn't so lucky. After Sean called California Fish & Wildlife to remove the lion, it transpired that it was in very poor health. <br /><br />"They came and they had to put it down because how malnourished it was, it was really sad," Sean said. <br /><br />"They may open a criminal case because it looked like it may have been captive or a pet that's was treated wrong."
