Another cougar was photographed by a trail camera earlier this month in the Great Lakes region – this time in Juneau County, Wisc.

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources biologists confirmed the presence of four cougars over the last three years, and seven trail cameras have documented cougar activity in the state according to a press release from the Department.
Biologists believe most of these cougars are from South Dakota, making their way through Wisconsin to find territory and mates.
Who knows, maybe they’ll end up in the Upper Peninsula.

Too bad every sighting is a male. Females won’t roam like males and until they do, the males will turn back as soon as they can tell there aren’t any mates. It could happen one day that a true breeding population returns to more eastern states but with the very minute range that a female requires compared to a male its just not going to be any time soon.
I thought this article was going to be about Demi Moore.
