Description: Located in Hudson Park at the intersection of Lakeland and Hudson Avenues in Madison, Wisconsin, this effigy mound has been described as a panther, a turtle, and a lizard. Part of its tail was destroyed by the construction of Lakeland Avenue. Together with the nearby Elmside Park effigy mounds, it is a remnant of a cluster of some 22 mounds that stretched from the Yahara River to Olbrich Park on the northeastern shore of Lake Monona, almost all of which were destroyed by residential development. Beyond the three preserved effigies, the cluster originally contained 12 bird effigies (one with a wingspan of 568 feet) as well as 10 conicals and 4 linears.
