WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS -- Washington Fish and Wildlife police killed this 120-pound cougar on May 2 after it moved into a Kennewick neighborhood and perched in the tree above a yard where three girls ages 4, 7 and 10 normally play.
Two schools are nearby.
Arrangements are underway to donate the animal’s remains to Washington State University for biological research at the Tri-Cities campus, WDFW officials said.
