Cougar spotted in Otter Tail County


Otter Tail County, Minnesota, has its first confirmed report of a mountain lion (cougar) sighting.  A private trail camera caught the image of the cat northeast of Fergus Falls earlier this month. 

DNR Area Wildlife Supervisor Don Schultz of Fergus Falls says he verified the motion-detecting camera location.

Schultz says there is no known breeding population in Minnesota, but there are occasional sightings.  The nearest known breeding population is in the Black Hills, and it's possible the mountain lion came from that area.

Cougar attacks on humans are very rare.

It's about time it's only been five years since the first trailer loads were introduced to ND…makes sense to relocate them to MN…better food sources

I caught Big J's kitty with a can of sardines and a catch-em-alive trap.  Now we play with balls of yarn and he licks cream off my top lip.

Wouldn't ND be closer than the Black Hills? Unless they are still claiming there are no breeding cats in ND?

Okay... I had milk coming out my nose I was laughing so hard...

....and I wasn't even drinking milk!

BTW, ND and MN cats don't breed. They just have casual sex... no strings attached type of thing.

Lol! It's only a matter of time before all the deer are gone and these cats turn to fishing, then we wont have anything to do!
