True story . . . when I was at BYU in the early 90s, there was a taxidermied
cougar in the window in the Wilk (by the theater entrance). My brother, who is a couple years older than me, was a conservation-biology major, and he participated for a couple years in Dr. Black's (I think that was his name) annual Bear Project. They'd go out into the Uinta Mountains and tranq and tag black bears so that they could track them with radio telemetry and record the data on numbers, hibernation and migration patterns, etc. I can't remember all the details, but they tried to tranq that cougar, but it died because they mistakenly gave it the larger dosage for a bear. Anyway, so as not to waste (yes, there are jokes to be made here), they taxidermied the cougar and put it on display at BYU as a window "mascot." Is it still there? I wonder what happened to it?
