There are real cougar pictures in Pa! Just stop by Cougar Bobs Tavern in Kelletville PA and they'll show em to you! (of course the cougar was kind of docile when Bob made a leash out of an extension cord and "captured" it.)
Just one example of a cougar sighting that turned out to be an escaped captive cat.
I'm sure that we have a few of those.... after all, it's well known that Sasquatch families like to keep cougars as pets!
