Team Says It Has Evidence of Mountain Lions

The Missouri Mountain Lion Response team says it has evidence of two more cougars in Missouri; one in north Missouri, near Chillicothe, and another in the Ozarks. A camera on a deer trail in Livingston County activated by a motion sensor has photographed one cougar. Wildlife forensics experts have confirmed a deer carcass in southeast Missouri’s Shannon County had been partly-eaten by a cougar, and then covered with leaves and brush. The response team says these are the ninth and tenth mountain lions confirmed in Missouri in the last 12 years.
