that must be one BIG cougar. Deer is their usual prey. Even if it weighed close to two hundred pounds...
We live in exurban NJ and some people in town claim they saw a cougar this spring.

I'm sure we have a few. Back about 10-12 years ago, I spotted cougar tracks in the Pine Barrens - out near Ong's Hat-, and began following them-then noticed the tracks were making a big circle: meaning kitty cat was moving in behind me.
(Back to the car time !)
They are immensely strong for their size, and have been known to kill full-grown elk. Not something that should be tolerated near human habitats, not matter how pretty the environmentalists think they look.
