* it's useful to look at the fake (Lodgepole Pine and Blacktail Deer) 
Peterborough, Ontario, photo of a Cougar - 
http://www.rock95.com/Images/coug.jpg - to remind oneself how 
small-headed, long- (and heavy)-tailed, and low to the ground they are. 
Without judging the present sighting, I recently was shown a photo of a 
"Cougar" from around here, which the Ministry of Natural Resources had 
agreed was a Cougar, but which (by head size, height, coat texture, and 
tail length and taper) was pretty clearly a mis-scaled domestic Cat.
