Mountain Lion Swims Across California Lake (Watch)

LAKE McCLURE, CA - There are plenty of people who are afraid to swim in the ocean, thanks to the movie Jaws. Here's a video that may make people think twice about swimming in a lake.

A fisherman in a boat at Lake McClure in Mariposa County, west of Yosemite National Park, spotted something big swimming in the water and pulled up closer to take a look. He captured on video proof that not all cats hate water. A full-sized mountain lion was swimming across the lake.

This video was shared by the fisherman, James Horton of Fresno, with the Sacramento Bee newspaper.
