Cougar cubs spotted in Michigan for first time in a century

[RandySF]

For the first time since humans wiped out Michigan’s native cougar population more than a century ago, wild cubs have been spotted in Michigan.

But while state wildlife officials are celebrating the sighting of two cubs in Ontonagon County as evidence that the state has habitat to support the species, they’re also tempering expectations.

Believed to be just a few weeks old, the cubs were spotted without their mother on March 6 by a resident of the western Upper Peninsula county. At that young age, cougars are dependent upon their mother for protection and food, and rarely stray from her side.

They haven’t been spotted since.
