Minnesota Bobcat or Mountain Lion
#3
Rack, I would say that there is a Lion. Also, I learned a long time ago, Just because the DNR denies something. Doesn't make it so. I told the DNR agent in Grand Rapids for many years that there was a Lion in the Hill City area, as well as Wolves. They denied it, until someone caught it on camera one night.
So yes, there are Lions in Minnesota.

It is a mountain lion. The body is too big and long for a bobcat. It also does not have the coloration of a bobcat.

That's a medium size mountain lion. Two winters ago, a lion was witnessed from just west of Eau Claire (somewhere in MN) to central WI. Took about a month to go 300 miles. People pieced together the sightings and tracks.
Last fall, one was seen and tracks verified in Washington County, which is 50 miles from Milwaukee. And YES, the DNR denied it. They said it had to be a domestic cat cuz bobcats aren't that far south either... in the middle of a corn field... with a 3 foot tail.... with a print the size of a large dog
