Nobody knows for sure if it's the same cougar or 3 different ones. The counties are in close proximity with each other. Here's a pic of the one in Pike. That's a well fed housecat...

Old_Mil Posted June 25, 2019 #27 Share Posted June 25, 2019 The Iowa DNR maintained that they were extinct in the state as well. There have only been 25 confirmed sightings in the state in the past couple of decades. Two in Des Moines itself. Now the official line is that they are a native species of the state, hunted to extinction in 1880 and coming back. Given their protected status west of the Rockies, it's not a surprise that overpopulation in those states is driving them east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSlim Posted July 12, 2019 #28 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Interesting. I still see cougars all over the place. Especially in bars and shopping malls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
