I am from Vermillion countyinCentral Indiana. A while back the news broke astory saying that there was a cat sancturary in sourthern-central Indiana. Which had one of there female cougers escape. They had conservation officers out looking for her and also setting traps for it. But I don't remember them ever catching her. As soon as that happened I heard that the DNR had other people saying that they to hada Couger escape. I know that is true because while they were looking for the female they spooted a male couger. I never heard what happened with that story though. I do remember hearing that they found a coon that was mauled to death close to the sanctuary a couple days after the escape. The couger could survive out there on its own. I think that the picture was just a pet that got to big so the owner letit go.
