Cannon Beach, a popular tourist destination in Oregon, has reopened after residents spotted a cougar on Haystack Rock. Experts believe the mammal traveled to the rock at low tide.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said officials later confirmed that the animal had moved on. A game camera captured an image of it leaving the rock Sunday night, and tracks were also found heading away, federal officials said.
State biologists believe the cougar ventured to Haystack Rock at low tide Saturday night to hunt birds, a behavior they have not previously witnessed at that site.
