Their comeback, heralded by wildlife enthusiasts, has brought concern and questions to many. Will the people of the region make room for cougars? Can they survive the highly altered landscape of the Midwest? Is there a future for these intrepid pioneers if they head even farther east?\u003cbr\u003e Using GIS technology, and historical data, among many other methods, \u003ci\u003ePhantoms of the Prairie\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers on a virtual journey, showing how the cougar might move over the landscape with minimal human contact.
