Probably someones pet they raised from a cub that got loose
It’s pretty easy to tell a human-raised mountain lion from a wild one. This was a year-and-a-half old male, just the type known for range-expansion.
Not even the Gaia-worshiping DNR claims this was a pet, who are usually older and flabby with bad teeth.
It’s from the breeders that the DNR brought into the state but won’t admit because they didn’t have legislative authority to do so.
This was an urban park not far from an elementary school.
