Mountain lion killed in DeKalb County

A mountain lion is dead after it was hit by a vehicle on I-88 up in DeKalb County over the weekend.  The Illinois Department of Natural Resources says the incident happened Sunday and the animal has been delivered to the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana for a full necropsy and DNA analysis.  IDNR experts believe the animal may be the same mountain lion that was captured on a trail camera on private property in Whiteside County last month.
