VIDEO: Cougar sighting in suburban Clark County

PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) — A cougar was spotted on a Ring camera in the suburbs of Clark County on May 12.

The resident who caught the sighting on camera told KOIN 6 News that the video shows the cougar roaming near the intersection of 137th Avenue and 91st Street in Orchards, Wash. at approximately 4:43 a.m.

According to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s predatory wildlife incidents map , there have been dozens of unconfirmed cougar sightings in Clark County in recent years.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife offers the following tips for people living in cougar country:

• Learn your neighborhood. Be aware of any wildlife corridors or places where deer or elk concentrate
• Walk pets during the day and keep them on a leash
• Keep pets indoors at dawn and dusk. Shelter them for the night
• Feed pets indoors
• Don’t leave food and garbage outside
• Use animal-proof garbage cans if necessary
• Remove heavy brush from near the house and play areas
• Install motion-activated light outdoors along walkways and driveways
• Be more cautious at dawn and dusk when cougars are most active
• Do not feed any wildlife: By attracting other wildlife, you may attract a cougar
• Keep areas around bird feeders clean
• Deer-proof your garden and yard with nets, lights, fencing
• Fence and shelter livestock, move them to sheds or barns at night
