Oh we had an article about him in our local newspaper. What a traveler! Sighted in Wisconsin and Minnesota in 2009 and 2010, and they don't know if he took a northern route via Canada or a southern route.

Big muscular fella, 140 pounds. Yes, so sad he was hit, poor thing, after all that traveling.

Oh, how sad and anti-climactic an end for such a noble and adventurous creature.

Rest in peace, Mr. St. Croix Mountain Lion. You will find many friends welcoming you at the Rainbow Bridge and will have many more to greet there as time passes.
