This is definitely enough proof that the rumors of people claiming to see them here is true. Amazing and this was outside my city! Either hunters missed a few or they likely migrated from the west similar to Jaguar's making a comeback in the southern United States. That's nature for you, fixing itself at its best.

I never would have dreamed they WEREN'T in Ontario to he honest, didn't think Canadians had it in them to affect wildlife populations, except maybe baby seals. |

Good find, apparently there were historical sightings of Cougars in Alaska. There was also an actual trapping (sadly) of a male Cougar on an Alaskan Island in 1998:![]() A Petersburg trapper caught this mountain lion in a wolf snare on Kupreanof Island in December 1998. The male cat weighed about 160 pounds and measured seven and a half feet long. http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=wildlifenews.view_article&articles_id=26 Male Cougar wanderings must lead them to some to nontypical range areas on occassion! |
