Mountain Lions in Illinois

When Illinois wildlife officials were faced with the prospect of a creature who's capable of eating people deciding to become a permanent resident of our state, they made the right call, and decided to make the mountain lion Indiana's problem.

Mountain lions are apparently a little attention hungry lately here in Illinois. It was a little over a week ago that a mountain lion was killed by a vehicle in Dekalb County, and now we have the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) getting the word out about another one that's come to visit and check out our state.
