Earlier this week, I read about a sighting of a big cat in Milton, Wisconsin, which isn't that far from here. Here is an article from today's Wisconsin State Journal confirming that genetic testing on the animal's sundry residues suggest it is in fact a cougar (and, in my favorite part of the ongoing story, that it is a wild cougar, not an escaped pet . . . who keeps cougars as pets?!?).
People have been seeing these things for years, though. This article is from 2003, for instance. And here is a Cryptomundo post from last year that details some of the work being done to prove that these animals are running around up here.
