A Vancouver Island resident had a surprise when she looked out her kitchen window Thursday morning: two juvenile cougars were playing in her yard.

91裸聊视频淚 was just sitting in my kitchen, having coffee, getting my daughter breakfast, and 91裸聊视频� I just caught a glimpse out of my kitchen window. I knew exactly what it was,91裸聊视频� said Saffina Welch, who moved to the Buckley Bay area of the Comox Valley, from Vancouver earlier this summer. 91裸聊视频淚 just made sure my dog was inside, because he sometimes likes to sleep on the deck. But he was [inside] so I grabbed my phone, went into the bathroom for a better viewing spot and started shooting.

91裸聊视频淭he footage isn91裸聊视频檛 good, because I believe in watching, as opposed to videoing. But it was a pretty cool thing to experience.91裸聊视频�

Welch said she has observed many animals in the wild, but had never seen a cougar before.

91裸聊视频淚 used to be a biologist, so I have spent a lot of time [studying] bears, wolves and other animals91裸聊视频� so looking for a cougar, I wasn91裸聊视频檛 expecting it to be in my back yard. It91裸聊视频檚 been on my bucket list for a long time, so I91裸聊视频檓 pretty happy, because I91裸聊视频檝e got a lot of colleagues who91裸聊视频檝e never seen one.91裸聊视频�

Welch figures the pair to be approximately a year old.

91裸聊视频淭hey looked like siblings. They didn91裸聊视频檛 look big91裸聊视频� a friend of mine with similar experience figures they were from last year91裸聊视频檚 litter.91裸聊视频�

She said she contacted the BC Conservation Service to advise officials of the sighting.

91裸聊视频淣ot that I felt it was a risk91裸聊视频� but I believe sightings like this should be reported - the good, as well as the bad.91裸聊视频�
