DEREK GREBNER: Illinois puma sighting

Tonight at 2am I was driving IL Route 26 between East Peoria and Lacon. I was about six miles outside of Lacon when I caught eye-shine on top of some round haybails. The eye-shine was that of a predator and the shape of the body was large and feline. The distance between the eyes would be no less than three inches. I saw ears and a tail curled up around behind it. I believe what I saw was a cougar. However, on slowing down from 50 to 0 so I could back up I was unable to see it again.
