It’s also illegal to trespass on private property, he noted.For the latest info on cougars, including the DNR’s cougar sightings photo page [<a href="https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/education/michigan-species/mammals/cougars/photos" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/education/michigan-species/mammals/cougars/photos</a>], visit Michigan.gov/Cougar.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/CougarCubs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CougarCubs</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conservation</a>

NonilexAlthough <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/cougars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cougars</a> are native to <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Michigan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Michigan</a>, most of them now appear to be transient animals, dispersing into MI from Western states. The DNR has verified 132 adult <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/cougar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cougar</a> reports, Roell said, but DNA testing has confirmed only male cougars to date.The <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/CougarCubs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CougarCubs</a> have not been spotted since March 6. “Those young cougars are very vulnerable right now,” Roell said. “We don’t know where they are or if they’re even alive. Mother Nature can be very cruel.”<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conservation</a>

Nonilex“It really shows that we have a unique place in <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Michigan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Michigan</a> where someone has a chance to see a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/wolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wolf</a>, a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/moose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moose</a> & a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/cougar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cougar</a> in the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/wild" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wild</a>. It’s something that should be celebrated, that we have the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/habitat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#habitat</a> to support an elusive animal like this,”Roell said.The cubs were spotted & photographed without their mother. <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/CougarCubs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CougarCubs</a> are highly dependent on their mothers, often staying with them for the first two years of life.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ecosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecosystems</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conservation</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a>

NonilexThis is the first time <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/CougarCubs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CougarCubs</a> have been verified since the big cats were hunted out of existence in <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Michigan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Michigan</a> in the early 1900s, said Brian Roell, large carnivore specialist for the MDNR. Roell, a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> biologist for 26yrs, led the team that verified the cubs.“It’s pretty exciting, considering this could be the first known cougar reproduction in modern times in the western <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/GreatLakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreatLakes</a> states,”said Roell, referring to Michigan, Wisconsin & Minnesota.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ecosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecosystems</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conservation</a>
