Description:
Cougar crossed the road about 100 feet in front of me at the intersection of 700 and 770 at 5:00 PM Sunday May 10th. It was not aggressive, didn’t even look at me, just jogged across the road and disappeared. I stood there for a few minutes making noise and didn’t see or hear it again. I would guess it was about five feet long, not including the tail.
