ONZA
The Onza, often called the mystery cat is wolflike and separate
from the other two large cats, the Puma and the Jaguar.
The early settlers of the Northwest noted the presence of the
black, wild wolflike cat-with long ears, a long narrow body and
long thin legs. It is remarkable for its fierceness.
In 1982, for the first time, Cryptozoologists formally
recognized its existence in the Northwest. However, consistent
scientific indifference to the Onza is puzzling. Even though one
was trapped alive recently, officials expressed no interest to look
at it.
While Cougar and large cat sightings on Camano Island are not
frequent, there have been increased missing dogs and cats reported
and there is no rabbit problem.
The threat to the survival of wild animals is the loss of their
habitat due to development of towns, cities, and farms. When people
move into their habitat, animals are often viewed as a threat to
pets, livestock, gardens or humans, and so they are killed. We can
protect them by preserving their habitat and by learning to live
with them.
Keep in mind that cats are important predators that control
populations of potential pests like rodents.
