ONTARIO, Canada -- A woman spotted a wild lynx lurking outside an Ontario nail salon, and instead of turning tail and running, the woman decided to follow it and film it.

YouTube user Beth-Ann Colebourne excitedly narrated the experience as she approached the lynx saying, "there's just a lynx hanging uptown."

"What's up, buddy?" Colebourne called out to the cat. The lynx looked back at her and stood calmly on its very large, furry paws.

As the lynx began to walk away from her, Colebourne called for it to come to her. Then she followed it, asking, "what are you doing?"

Colebourne got closer and closer to it, at one point calling out, "kitty, kitty, kitty!"

Eventually the massive cat trotted away from her. Colebourne called out, "bye!"

The video titled, "Crazy Girl Follows Wild Lynx," was posted on YouTube on Tuesday. As of Thursday morning, it has more than 27,000 views.

One YouTuber commented on the video, "Jesus, lady-are you nuts???"

Another commenter wrote, "it's all fun and games, right up until you lose your face!"

On the video posting, Colebourne said, "what an amazing experience!"
