DNA tests show that a 140-pound mountain lion killed last month on a
Connecticut highway had walked more than 1,500 miles east from the Black
Hills of South Dakota., state officials said today.

The epic journey was the longest ever recorded for a mountain lion.


Just curious, how did a DNA test determine that it came from SD?
