I am glad she did not need to be hurt. Such beautiful animals.

I believe this one was a male, 140 lbs (almost as heavy as me - eep!)

Sad new is that another one was destroyed in Washington State, but this
one DID attack a human

He's very handsome!

They did a great job of capturing him and releasing him in a wilderness
away from humans.

That makes 3 cougars found near humans in Washington State, in the very
recent past. Another one was hit by a car and died in Redmond, WA. (Home
of you-know-what - hint: you're probably using one of its products this
very minute. )

Glad to hear the good news about the successful relocation.

"A global positioning unit attached round the cougar's neck will send twice
daily updates about its location, park officials said." I remember how
Persia first fought wearing a collar. (All these years later she still
sometimes gets rambunctious and manages to take it off over her head.) That
cougar looks perfectly content wearing a tracking unit collar

And so he should, since his ploy worked so magnificently.

"What's that?" you ask? "*What* ploy?"

"Those monkeys are so damn' smart, I'll bet if I go to one of their
places and make myself visible - but not *too* much of a threat! -
they'll find me a range that isn't already claimed by somebody older,
bigger and meaner than me."

*That* ploy.
