Hot tub hangout crashed by wild cougar

Natalee Dennis was sitting in an outdoor hot tub with her father, Steve Dennis, in their backyard hot tub when they heard an animal nearby.

Thinking it was a raccoon or a cat, Dennis grabbed her cellphone to use the flashlight and start filming.

"We got something down here?" her dad asked her, peering over the edge of the tub in Tofino, on B.C.'s Vancouver Island.

"Probably the raccoons," he says as a pair of glowing yellow eyes can be seen peering through foliage. "C'mon. C'mon."

Moments later, Dennis gets a better view, exclaiming, "Oh, it is a cougar, Dad!"

There you are practically naked, with no defense and the cougar is watching....thinking there's an easy meal.

Maybe it's time to carry bear spray with you on a trip to the hot tub.
