EAGLE RIVER, Wis. (WSAU) - Trail cameras captured a picture of a cougar as it passed through northern Wisconsin this summer.

Though mountain lions are rare, there are more and more trail cameras deployed in the state’s Northwoods. Pictures of the big cat were caught three times, July 25th, August 30th and September 8th.

The Wisconsin DNR says it believes it’s the same mountain lion in all three photos, since the animal has an ear tag and wears a radio collar each time.
