The Chicago Cougar
Recently, what appears to be a wild cougar was shot by police in a Chicago suburb. See:
ChiTrib - Cops kill cougar on North Side
NatGeo - Cougar Shot in Chicago; Was 1,000 Miles From Home?
Bloomberg - Cougar Rattles Chicago, Where 2,000 Coyotes Prowl
Just another reminder that eventually we'll probably see cougars in the Neebish Island area. And of all the large animals I might run into; wolf, bear, moose, the idea of being face-to-face with a cougar is actually terrifying. Kind of like seeing God - you like knowing he's out there but you're not quite sure what's to happen if you do see him.
