Cougar on Mississippi Coast

BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss. (AP) — Authorities fear a big cat, perhaps a cougar, may be roaming the Cedar Point area in Bay St. Louis in Hancock County.

"I was raised in Hancock County, and the old people used to talk about the panthers - the big cats,'' city animal control Officer Dorty Necaise said Tuesday.

Now, talk of the big cats is back, brought about by sighting reports and the death of a small dog that was mauled in the area recently.

Deputy Police Chief Mike De Nardo said a family on July 8 reported that their miniature schnauzer had been attacked and killed.

"The owners heard the dog yapping. They went outside and saw a large creature dragging the dog off,'' he said.

Necaise said he tracked the animal over the weekend and found paw prints that were the size of a Great Dane's, but obviously from a feline with big claws.

He said he gathered sets of prints in the mud of the Cedar Point area and from sand traps on the Hollywood Casino golf course.

State wildlife officials were going to join local trapper Clark Breland in searching for the animal.

Since Hurricane Katrina decimated the area in 2005, Necaise said nature has reclaimed parts of Cedar Point that weren't rebuilt and wild animals abound.

"It's much wilder than any other part of the city,'' Necaise said.

There have been reports of hogs, alligators, foxes, bobcats, coyotes and other wild animals, he said

I fricked that up, she has a video statement under oath on this for exact details. But red wolves have laways been in Mississippi.

ANSWER<COM

No, there are no gray wolves in Mississippi, nor have there been in the past century. Reports of red wolves, a smaller less dangerous wolf, have been made throughout Mississippi though the species is reported to have died out in the 1970's. Red wolf coyote hybrids are the closest things to an actual wolf in Mississippi unless illedged sightings of red wolves are true.
Not to long along a picture was in the Sun Herald, someone shot the wolf and had a picture on the front page, not sure of the breed, but it was huge!
