US Officials Declare Eastern Cougar Extinct

William Parcher said:
The Connecticut cougar was also confirmed in Lake George, New York by tracks, hair and DNA.

Wild cougar passed through Lake George



This is the kind of confirmatory evidence that is available when real cougars are present. We have nothing like this for any other cougars in the East.

Yet................. It happened and not an escaped pet to match Drew's bs.....

You tanked another thread with honest commentary on things and want to believe you are the interweb police or something. This is why you are on ignore. This is why your agenda is useless, as much as your opinion.

Parcher = troll

Attacking the poster is bad form, and against the rules, and it appears desperate on your part.

Nope. The fact that Parcher seems to have the need to attack others rather than his usual know it all routine is a new low. Deal with it. I have nothing to be desperate about.
 
Case Report from New York State on the wandering cougar.

The hair sample consists of 15 fine hairs in an unlabelled zip-loc style sandwich bag. The hairs range in length from 9 to 15mm and are tan with dark (black) tips; they appear to be underfur, no guard hairs are present. They have a dark thick medulla with some vacuoles present and brownish yellow ungranulated pigment. The track photos consist of 36 photographs of tracks in the snow, some with a yardstick for scale. The foot print measures approximately 4 1/4 inches long by 3 1/2 inches wide; a trilobed heel pad is clearly evident in some footprints. Based on the yardstick in some of the photos the stride is estimated at ~30 inches...

Five hairs were sent to Dr. Melanie Culver at the University of Arizona School of Natural Resources on February 9, 2011 for DNA analysis to determine species and subspecies if possible; results are still pending as of the date of this report. Four hairs were sent to Kristine Pilgrim at the US Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station on July 28, 2011 for DNA analysis to determine species and to determine if it was the same mountain lion that was killed in Milford Connecticut on June 11, 2011...

It is interesting to note that this one lone mountain lion passing through New York was detected and confirmed through track photographs and DNA (and also detected and confirmed several times in other states) which is good evidence that if a population of mountain lions lived in the northeastern US they would likely be detected.

This cougar is powerful evidence that the bolded statement is meaningful.

Dude, seriously you're looking like a complete loon with these posts. How can you call parcher the troll when his recent post actually brought new information to the thread and yours just, well, called him a troll? By definition, you are the one trolling and it's blatantly obvious to anyone reading the thread.

YOU are brazenly choosing to ignore the part where he draws upon politics that are largely old news, none of his business from another forum, trolling is trolling and cherry picking your points is not helpful.

When the public cries mountain lion, these guys respond (Connecticut)


...But since June, when the state's first recorded mountain lion appeared -- and then was struck dead by a car on a Milford highway -- the officers have busily tracked that species, too. Though they've found nearly every reported sighting lacking in evidence, or corresponding instead to bobcats or deer, the officers aren't writing off the prospect of confronting another mountain lion. "We're not saying no, we're just saying, 'Show us proof,' " said Capt. Raul Camejo, who oversees the 20 EnCon officers covering western Connecticut.

Retro-Explaining: Dead Connecticut Cougar Said To Have Been In New York…As Well As Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota And South Dakota!

Coleman on Cryptomundo said:
Why do I get the creepy feeling that this one dead cougar in Connecticut is now being used by U.S. wildlife officials to explain several recent confirmed puma sightings in the Midwest and East – sort of like how a confessed serial killer is used to "clear the books" on unsolved murder cases?

Yeah, we've got a bunch of cougars bopping around in the East and those government bastards are trying to make it look like it was only this one.
 
There was a time when I read the chronicles of "White" folk held by "Indians" 300 years ago. What it described was a world filled with people covering 30 miles a day. It happened. Probably the only animal that might leave us in the dust is the wolf.
 
Parcher, accept that there is no significant genetic difference between the Eastern Cougar and the Western Cougar and leave this alone. Animals screw, especially if they are closely related.

I think he accepts this. His point is: that there is no breeding population of COUGARS in the east. Correct me if I'm wrong on that WP.

(Other than the Florida population of course)

Attack of the Non Sequiturs From Left Field.
 
This guy says it perfectly;

Hynes wrote that the matter provides good insight on the status of cougars in the region.

mikeyx, please accept that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is using the word "extinct" in this context to describe a category of breeding population, not a taxonomic species nor clade, in order to most effectively allocate conservation resources.

In the sense that your comments fail to grasp the significance of context, they do indeed represent a non sequitur.
