Macomb County, Michigan- cougar sighted.
Reported Sun 10/19/2008 10:00 PM to www.savethecougar.org
Date of Observation: 10-07-08
Time: 11p.m.
County: Macomb
Location Description: 15 mile road east of Schoenherr (where Red Run Drain crosses 15 mile road)
Sighting Description:
Coming home from work just before 11p.m riding my motorcycle traffic slowed on 15 Mile Road just before Schoenherr. To my amazement I saw a large cat (approximately 100 lbs 5 ft. long)slink down and dart across 5 lanes of traffic. Having seen coyotes in the woods, I assure you this was no coyote. In the late 90's a liger was spotted near the Red Run Drain close to my subdivision. This could be the same cat. I know cougars are deer hunters and deer are plentiful in the Red Run and near Freedom Hill Park.
