“Went camping to relax, almost met Jesus instead,” wrote chantlelouienna in a TikTok post sharing a video of a cougar chilling in her campsite near Harrison Lake in Canada. Although she was cracking jokes in her caption and sounds nonchalant about the visitor in her audio (e.g., she calls the mountain lion “beautiful” and tells it to “strike a pose”), the predator’s presence definitely altered the campers’ evening.
