Woman Captures Video Of Cougar In Comox

Miranda Fowler was driving home from work around 10 p.m. Monday when she spotted a cougar cross in front of her on Comox Avenue.

Her video only lasts a few moments, but a Comox woman has captured footage of a cougar in downtown Comox doing some "window shopping."

Miranda Fowler was driving home from work around 10 p.m. Monday when she spotted a cougar cross in front of her on Comox Avenue.

While cougars have been spotted in the area before, being in the downtown core is unusual.

Fowler says the cat’s attention may have been drawn to a shiny tinfoil heart on the door of a nail salon. A check of the area on Tuesday reveals that there is also a cage full of budgies in the salon’s front window.

Fowler shared the video with CTV News and can be viewed at https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2469951&jwsource=cl
