COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — A Coeur d’Alene homeowner caught a wild sight on his Ring doorbell camera early Friday morning.
A cougar was spotted on the camera in the early morning hours today.
The homeowner, David, said, “The sighting was completely unexpected—it’s the first time I’ve ever heard of a cougar in our area. The cougar came right up to the front door and even looked through the glass, which was startling. He seemed curious, just checking things out, and stayed for about two minutes. There aren’t any pets or livestock nearby that might have drawn him in. I didn’t report it to wildlife authorities, but it definitely made me more aware of what could be out there.”
