A Vancouver Island man stumbled upon a rare, and somewhat terrifying, sight in the woods recently.
While parked in his vehicle, Adam Nash of Comox, was surrounded by three curious cougars.
Nash captured a five-minute video of the encounter and posted it to YouTube.
Early on in the video, two of the cougars begin moving towards the vehicle in unison, prompting Nash to repeat “Oh my God” several times.
“Oh my God, he wants to eat me, for sure,” Nash says on the video. “Absolutely crazy.”
Nash said the three cougars stayed around his vehicle for about 20 minutes before sauntering off.
Two teenagers have also recently reported seeing cougars in the area.
One told CTV News he saw their eyes near the road while driving at night.
A conservation officer said the large cats in the video appear to be young, and were probably curious about the vehicle.
