More Cougar Sightings

(Lake County, Illinois) About a week or so ago, there were several reports of cougars in northwest suburban Chicago. Since then, there's this story.

Sheriff's department Lieutenant Tom Braze says a Lindenhurst resident on Thursday snapped a photo of what appears to be two cougars in the McDonald Woods Forest Preserve.

Braze says the photo showed the outline of two large animals that could have been cougars amid a tree line. But he also says he wouldn't call it "definitive proof."

I assume everybody realizes that the existence of two cougars may mean that Lake County soon could be announcing the birth of more cougars.
