I know of one cougarthat was just East ofHarrisburg a few years ago. Cost the owner a fair amount of fine money when someone turned in him for having an exotic pet without the proper permits.

Figure if some knucklehead got away with keeping one in an apartment without anyone knowing about it for some time, bound to be a few other undocumented ones aroundthat either escaped or were turned loose for whatever reason. People do strange things.

There isa family in YorkCounty that keeps exotic pets. Every now and then one of their wallabies escapes and it takes them weeks or months to round the little rascal up again. I know he exists 'cause his picture has been in the paper and on the TV news during such escapes.

When he's running around loosein the wilds ofYork County, it doesn't mean PA has a wallaby population, whenever he's outside of the chainlink fence.
