The DNR has received more than 400 cougar observations since 1994 - there were 87 in 2006 alone.
University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point researcher Eric M. Anderson estimated that 90% of those who believe they saw a cougar saw something else - coyotes, wolves or bobcats, for example.

Only DNR guys and UW-system employees are actually dumb enough to believe that a coyote looks like a cougar.

But if an observer does not know what a coyote looks like and does not know what a cougar looks like, simply knowing that they do not look like one another will not help to identify which of the two it is.
Interesting point, but it seems like an observer must have lived a fairly sheltered life not to know the difference between a coyote and a cougar.
