Nebraska Records 7th Cougar Confirmation of 2005

Cougar Network News, 12/23/05

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has confirmed its seventh mountain lion in Nebraska this year. On October 22, 2005, a trail camera in the northwest corner of Sioux County near the Wyoming and South Dakota borders captured an excellent image of a cougar (see below). Thanks to Sam Wilson, Nongame Mammal/Furbearer Program Manager for bringing this incident to our attention. This represents the 24th confirmation since 1991. Mr. Wilson noted that it is possible that the same mountain lion could have been confirmed multiple times.
