A video of a “huge” cougar strolling past a person’s window in the Canadian province of British Columbia has gone viral on TikTok.

The clip was posted by @kimdougan123 and has garnered 3.6 million views since it was shared on July 31.

A caption shared with the post reads: “Midday sighting on Vancouver Island.”

The footage, taken through the window of a home, shows a cougar standing beside a tree. The animal is seen walking across a patch of grass, while looking toward the window.

The cougar pauses for a moment, with its gaze fixed on the camera, before looking ahead and trotting across the field. A voice in the clip whispers: “Oh my God, it’s huge.”
