UPPER MICHIGAN - Michigan wildlife researchers confirmed a record 40 cougar sightings in the Upper Peninsula last year, marking the third straight year of rising reports. Sightings occurred every month, with most reported in Houghton and Ontonagon counties and several near Gulliver in Schoolcraft County. Researchers say evidence, including cougar kittens found last year, suggests some cougars may now be permanent residents in Michigan. Cougars remain endangered in Michigan, making it illegal to hunt, harass, or disturb them. The DNR urges residents to keep their distance and report any cougar sightings.
