Dead Cougar near Kakabeka Falls (Looks like killed by Porcupine)

[BPR 30-06]

This claim is posted on Facebook (I don't have facebook). Indications are these and additional pics is that this cougar was found near Kakabeka Falls west of Thunder Bay. Other pictures show people loading the cougar on top of their van.

Saw it on my feed earlier.
Everything seems to be on the up and up, including what Im pretty sure is an Ontario plate on the truck. The snow that had partially melted off it seemed quite natural (aka it wasn't placed there) and while its hard to tell how long it was dead, counting the ribs made me think of starvation. The quills in it, didn't seem that bad...dunno.

But hesitate to share it, wouldn't be the first time everything wasn't what it appeared to be. I have no trouble thinking some are around, and haven't going way back to the beginning. Lots of talk about one here in my hood near Lindsay/Little Britain a few years ago, including some pics people had. But again....

I'll wait though, too many "hoaxes" and too many who still think they aren't and its all bogus and or like looking for Lochness.



Just a matter of time before someone hits the lottery and gets the pics a lot of people seem to feel are needed before they will accept that yes, there are some still around or coming back.

I'd like to see the pic's but they come up as a 404 error

Likewise. Can't see pics here. Have seen them on FB tho.

I note that the only source for this at present is the woman who posted the pics to FB. No independent corroboration, no news stories. Cat taken to a taxidermist.

They only exist on FB so far and hotlinking to FB wont work (hence the 404 message). Give it a day or two K, if theres anything to it all it will hit normal news channels.

I could DL the images, host them and then display them here, but being a photographer myself......I dont like using other peoples content without their consent.

For what its worth and thats not a lot at this point, it could be legit and given the region, good odds if its legit, it's not an escapee....those odds would I think be very low.

I thought there was a ladies prison in the neck of the woods ? Maybe an escapee ?
