Spring is a time for good news.
The Michigan DNR reported that cougar kittens were confirmed in the Upper Peninsula. That was the first known births of the cats in over 125 years. The DNR reported two kittens. The discovery was made on private land. The cougar is a protected species in Michigan, they reported that even trying to search for the cats would constitute an illegal disturbance.
The mountain lion is still a stochastic visitor to the Hawkeye state. Save a female cat that was killed in Johnson county last year, all the recorded cats have been males. If there were kittens in Iowa within ten years, I would not be surprised.
