Cougars Surround Man's Truck Near Courtenay, B.C. In Terrifying Video

"Oh my God, oh my God."
|

Adam Nash is a very, very lucky man.

He was sitting in his truck near Courtenay, B.C. when he found himself surrounded by three cougars.

This being the 21st century, he started filming, and posted the video to YouTube on Tuesday.

The clip initially shows two cougars slowly approaching the car and looking directly into the camera.

"Oh my God, oh my God," Nash says.

He then turns the camera to the left, catching a third cougar on a nearby dirt path.

"He wants to eat me."

"He wants to eat me," Nash says.

He told Chek News that he spotted the big cats on Forbidden Plateau Road around 5 p.m. on Tuesday.

The trio checked out his truck for about 15 minutes before taking off.

"I shut the truck off and kind of sat there quietly. They came right up to say hi," Nash, who lives in the Comox Valley, told the outlet.

Wildlife experts told Global News that the cougars were likely young and very curious.

They said Nash was lucky to see three at one time.

Sure — from the safety of his truck cab.
