Another cougar sighting has been reported. A Wabash County man reported the animal ran out in front of him on CR 750W approximately two weeks ago.
To help solve this mystery, Karen Hoag, of Black Pine Animal Park, Albion, has offered her expertise if anyone can locate and preserve a cougar paw print. To preserve the print, Hoag says to cover it with a cereal bowl, protecting it from wind and rain, and then call her at 260-636-7383. She said she will be happy to come and confirm or deny the print.
As a side note, Hoag said not to fear for the life of your family dog. Cougars generally prefer to eat deer, though when starving or sick, they will sometimes attack a confined animal.
