Monroe County Michigan - Three Cougars sightings in one year.


" Hello, This is T.F. of Newport Mi. 48166 we are in Monroe County  and today is the second time in two weeks that I have witnessed  the sighting of a cougar.

This is the third time in a year that we have seen one in the area and were afraid to mention it for the fear of disbelief and the fact that the animal was presumed extinct in S.E lower Mi.

Today through a 75 pwr spotting scope on my back deck my entire family and my neighbors witnessed the cat like stealth movements of the animal, the small cropped outline of the ears and the darkened end of the tail.

We have lost two dogs in just over a year - neither was found and one was brutally murdered on the back porch of our home.

Although exciting- I am concerned for my children's safety-and should I be? Please respond on this question. Thank you, T.F."
