State and federal wildlife agents are tracking a young cougar that was last seen on Sunday (4/19/09) within the Corvallis (Oregon) city limits. The cougar killed a house cat during daylight hours only 300 yards from an elementary school. State officials consider the cat "a possible threat to human safety."
Agents hope to capture the cougar by live trap or snare, or to use tracking dogs in the difficult urban residential environment. Oregon is home to more than 5,000 cougars.
