Cougars running around in South Jersey

Robert Squillace caught a glimpse of something moving as he bent to fetch the morning newspaper from his front step the other day.

It was near the soccer field, across the street from his suburban home in Camden County's Berlin Borough. His shouts brought his wife running with binoculars and camera, which they used to get a good look at a beast that has been tantalizing South Jersey with so-far unconfirmed sightings - a big cat, tawny with a long, sausage-shaped tail.

A cougar?
