Conservation Experts: This Size Cat Hasn't Been Seen Here In 100 Years. There has been a wild animal alert issued in the northern suburbs. A mountain lion, yes, a mountain lion, is on the loose.
...
We’re not looking for your Aunt Mildred’s kitty here, either. This is a big cat, a 160-pound predator that hunts and eats things.
...
Ironically the Eastern mountain lion was officially declared extinct only a few months ago — in March.

Who was the brave person who measured the cat and convinced it to step on a scale?

Don’t you remember this:

Try googling “Cougar killed in Chicago”
The above link is just one story about a mountain lion shot in the city of Chicago in 2008. So it is possible to get from WI to CT via Chicago. Maybe the CT one got through and this one was shot dead.

From there the two routes are over the Mackinaw Bridge or through Chicago. It would be easy for an animal to move through cornfields and forest preserves on the edge of the Chicago suburban sprawl, moving south from the Wisconsin border then swinging east into Indiana.
