A cougar on the loose in Chicago today met its unfortunate end, poor thing. Was it stalking an epicurean meal, or lost in a cement labyrinth?

My parents live in Scottsdale, Arizona. Not long ago, they were overjoyed to find a cougar lounging on the wall of their front porch. They called it a puma. They shot theirs, too, and these photos are the result. Click on one for a slide show.

  4. Now I see why so many people report seeing cougars or mountain lions every year. Turns out the people are just dumb. That is clearly a bobcat…notice the bob tail? Someone should be able to figure that one out even without knowing about pointed ears and spots on a bobcat.

  5. thats a bobcat not a cougar
