This bobcat was seen in the back yard of a residence bordering MLK park in Corvallis.
This is a popular Corvallis park for dog walking, including an off-leash area. Be alert!
Update: A state wildlife biologist has confirmed a recent cougar sighting in a rural Corvallis neighborhood but said the animal so far has not exhibited behaviors that would constitute a threat to human safety.
A photo taken on the afternoon of May 14 clearly shows a cougar near a home on Northwest Glenwood Drive, in the Skyline West neighborhood, said Nancy Taylor, a biologist with the Corvallis district office of the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife.
Taylor added that she couldn’t tell the mountain lion’s age, size or sex from the photo, and the resident who took the picture did not report any signs of threatening behavior from the animal.
