Grand Traverse County, Michigan- Large golden brown cat sighted, 8-12ft stride.
Reported Sun 11/23/2008 1:02 PM to www.savethecougar.org
Date of Observation: 11/22/2008
Time: 3 A.M.
County: Grand Traverse County
Location Description: Glen Eagle Retirement, Sumac Drive, off Silver lake Road.
Sighting Description:
Spotted large (6-8 ft.) golden brown (light) cat entering south end of the retirement facility. It was headed into the facility from bordering woods. Distance was approximately 40 yards - making size difficult to estimate. Cat was spooked by passing auto. It left prints in the snow. Stride length measured 8 - 12 feet... Wish I had a camera. Prints were well defined - like a domestic cat only much larger. I had no idea cougars were in Michigan. I was thrilled to see it. |
