Wild Wisconsin - Off the Record

Are there cougars in Wisconsin? - Off the Record Podcast


Listen Later

Over the last decade, cougars have returned to Wisconsin after a 100-year hiatus with the dispersal of males from a breeding population in western South Dakota. Why are cougars showing up in Wisconsin now? How do we know whether or not they're breeding here? And what should you do if you spot a cougar in your area? Scott Walter, DNR's large carnivore specialist, and assistant large carnivore specialist Jane Wiedenhoeft come on the show to talk everything mountain lion, from their biology to how we monitor their presence in Wisconsin.
