DNR confirms two cougars were spotted, one in neighboring county

A cougar may be taking up residence in the Langlade County area.

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources biologists confirm two cougar sightings this year, in Lincoln County east of Merrill and in Marinette County just north of Crivitz.

DNR wildlife biologist David MacFarland says the sightings are about 90 miles apart and a cougar could easily cover this distance in the 33 days between the photos, a route that almost certainly would have taken it through Langlade County.
