VIDEO: Getting up close and personal with cougars

KAMLOOPS – Bet you've never seen a cougar this close before.

WildSafe B.C. has released another in its series of Wild Wednesday videos, which shows a cougar sniffing a camera in the forest.

Another shot shows a different mountain lion stalking through the area, followed finally by a curious fawn checking out the camera.

WildSafe also offers tips on what you should do if you're approached by a cougar, mainly making yourself big and threatening. If you're attacked by a cougar fight back, don't run away screaming or play dead.
