MORE PHOTOS AT BOTTOM
More photos of the mystery beast are coming to The Icon's attention. (Click here to read previous posts.)
These were taken on Sept. 12, 2012, a couple miles south of Jenera, on Township Road 29.
"Amy R" took the photos and says: "It looked sick, but not as sick as the one in the current photo you have. One of the photos looks very similar to the photo previously posted on The Icon, with a little more hair is all.
"Mange might be running through the wild population in this area. I raised silver fox (a phase of the red fox) several years ago just outside Ada.
"Whoever claimed 'cougar' is way off. I've been around exotics most of my life and that is no cat of any kind.
