Hiker in Canada blasts Metallica to scare off cougar
Pixabay(CNN) - It's no secret that Metallica's music can be kind of intense -- so much so, one hiker says, that it scared off a curious cougar on Vancouver Island. Dee Gallant, 45, was on a hike in South Duncan with her dog, Murphy, on July 23. She said she was only a few miles into the woods when she turned around and realized that they had company: They were being stalked by a cougar. That is, until Gallant opened her phone and chose the loudest band she could think of: Metallica. "I actually thought it was really cool that I got to see a cougar for so long," she said.
