MINNEAPOLIS—A cougar that was struck and killed on an interstate highway in suburban Minneapolis Wednesday was more than likely the same animal captured on home security video sauntering across a driveway earlier this week, a Minnesota wildlife official said.

An SUV struck the male cougar before dawn Wednesday on Interstate 394 in Golden Valley, Minnesota—a short distance from the Minneapolis neighborhood where a cougar showed up in surveillance video two days earlier.
