NPS Finds No Sign of Cougars in Sleeping Bear The Traverse City Record-Eagle reports that although National Park Service officials found signs of bobcat, coyote, red fox, river otter, mink, weasel, and red squirrel, they found no evidence of cougar. Researchers used motion-sensing cameras stationed around the park, investigated reports of sightings and studied animal tracks. Dennis Fijalkowski, a representative of the Michigan Wildlife Conservancy, believes the announcement could be a prelude to removing cougar warning signs from the park and said: "They are under intense pressure from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to get those signs down. Those signs are an embarrassment to the MDNR."
