Cougar Nearly Joins SD Woman In Hot Tub

A relaxing soak in a hot tub came to an abrupt end when Marlene Todd came eye to eye with a mountain lion in her backyard.

I was kind of hidden, sitting with my back up against the side of the tub, and I heard a little rustling sound in the needles right beside me,” she said.

Todd said she thought it might have been her house cat until she saw “this big, tan, hairy body” just 4 inches away.
