Want To Go Hot Tubbing With a Mountain Lion?
South Dakota woman was soaking in a hot tub in her backyard when things got very interesting. Marlane Todd heard
some rustling behind her and realized she was just about to be joined by a fury visitor. The big cat was just inches
away from her. Still not sure what was behind her, things changed very quickly when the mountain lion jumped up
on the side of the hot tub. The cougar ended up being corned due to the stairs blocking the other side. When their eyes
met, the cat immediately spooked and jumped off the hot tub and ran away. When it jumped, it fl ipped her robe into the hot
tub. Todd contacted police and reported the incident. They concluded the mountain lion was probably stalking some deer
in the neighborhood and may have been attracked to the warmth of the hot tub on that cold morning in December.
