BANFF, Alta. — An RCMP officer on a traffic stop in Banff caught more than he expected on his car's dash camera.
The video, which shows the constable talking to a motorist, captured a cougar dashing by a couple of metres away — in front of a grocery store.
It shows the officer turning his head to look at the big cat.
