Michigan sees record cougar reports in 2025 [View all]
Cougars were detected 31 times in Michigan in 2025, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
That’s the highest number of confirmed observations since the predator was wiped out of the state in the early 1900s.
And the count is expected to increase.
“That number will go up once we get our DNR cameras in there, as well,” said Brian Roell, a large carnivore specialist with the department. “There’s like 6 million images to go through.”
