Iowa (RI) — Sightings of mountain lions in the state have dropped, but Iowa DNR furbearer biologist Vince Evelsizer says there are still some of the animals out there.
There also continue to be sightings in the northern corner of the state.
Evelsizer says the big cats try to stay away from humans, but there is a chance you could see them during the winter.
There haven’t been many recent bear sightings, but Evelsizer says there are still some out there as well.
Evelsizer says the bears will soon head into their dens for their long winter nap.
Evelsizer says bear sightings always pick up in the spring when they come out of hibernation and are hungry and looking for food.
