US Officials Declare Eastern Cougar Extinct

Wandering Nittany Lion looking for a quarterback...
Live by the McGloin, die by the McGloin. I'm just happy they're returning to their running back roots with Silas Redd.

Apropos of the thread btw, I visited State College a few years ago and saw the Nittany Lion mount in the library. With great care this specimen of one of the very last "eastern" cougars was restored and put on prominent display. For a little on this specimen check out Dave Bonta's humorous (though expletive-laden!) description.
 

There's a new one in Haddam CT this morning, an animal control officer is convinced he saw one. Haddam isn't that close to fairfield either. I'll see if there are additional details on the evening news. The witness is supposedly also an avid hunter. Most of the reports I've heard of CT sightings of cougars also come from hunters. Again details as the news gives em.
 

This same cougar was captured on another trailcam in Wisconsin.

DNR: Cougar moving around west-central Wisconsin

State wildlife officials say a young cougar is apparently roaming far and wide across west-central Wisconsin.

Department of Natural Resources ecologist Adrian Wydeven says a trail camera snapped a shot of a young cougar near the town of Pray in eastern Jackson County on Oct. 20.

Agency biologists believe it's the same cat another trail camera caught on film on Oct. 16 near Mauston in Juneau County, about 42 miles from the area where the Jackson County photograph was taken. Wydeven says the cougar in both photos appears to have the same spot pattern.

Certainly looks like the same cat. Beautiful cougar for sure. Isn't it awesome how we can follow around this lone cougar with game cam sightings and such, or lone wolverines along with DNA samples of the individual animal identifying it etc.

Sort of makes the crytpids case weaker every day. Cryptids be on a hunger strike! lol
