Return of the Wild!

So I woke up this morning and as I often do when I have a few minutes before bolting out the door for work, I turned on my TV to watch a little German news and probably Sesame Street (does wonders for language learning, I tell you). And you can imagine my surprise when the first thing I heard on the news this morning was ". . . . Cougar aus Chicago"

Yes that's right. A Cougar. In Chicago. In Roscoe Village no less. Randomly wandering around the neighborhood as if it was just a normal day, before being shot and killed by Chicago's finest. Guess the animals really are reclaiming the cities for themselves.

Strangely, you never hear about things like this happening in Frankfurt . . . maybe I should stay in Germany.
