This morning I heard a guy interviewed on the radio that found a dead mountain lion in his back yard here in Illinois.There has been many reported sightings throughout the state but no lion.I believed all along that it was posible,they can travel up to 50 miles a day,the only problem is if they where native to the western states how did they get across the Mississippi river?I believe they used the rail system Here is a link to the story http://www.wqad.com/global/story.asp...ientType=Print and another link http://www.naturealmanac.com/archive/cougar/cougar.html
