In the 80's when I worked in Boston and travelled Rte. 93 South every morning at 6:30 I was on my way in to work one morning when I saw what I thought was a smallish doe, dead up under the guard rail of the median. But as I drove past it and could see it from a different angle I discovered it wasn't a deer at all but was a cougar with the tail nearly as long as the body and the face of a cat. I should have stopped but the rush hour traffic was too intense.
I never heard or read a word about it on the TV news or the newspapers. It's as if the story was covered up.
