We had a mountain lion sighting(people and a photo taken) in Greenwich, CT a
few months ago...then, one was found dead, hit by a car - poor thing made it
all the way here in all these month, and got killed by a car.

We have them too.   I'm in Santa Rosa, Ca.  about an hour north of San
Francisco.  It's a BIG metropolitan area, but because of development and
the creeks in the area that allow cover, cougars have been spotted in
people's back yards.  I worry, but not for the people -- for the cougars.  I
hate the thought of someone shooting such a magnificent animal that is
clearly in stress or it wouldn't be around a stinking town.  I imagine they
are eating possums, as they are everywhere, thanks to some nitwit who
imported them from Texas or someplace for sport hunting.  People...
