Here is the second post in a collaborative series between myself and Jessica Turner about mountain lions in the Eastern United States. It details the story of the Connecticut Cat, a mountain lion that was hit by a car in Connecticut in 2011. His story is remarkable not only because of his incredible journey, but because it begs a very real question: could mountain lions recolonize the Eastern U.S.?

Thanks for the interesting info. Would have reblogged this but couldn’t with my cell. Don’t know why!

I always have trouble getting WordPress to work on my phone; I think the app just isn’t very good. But thanks for the compliment!

I saw one here in Harrisburg Pennsylvania this is not their territory, at first I thought it was a big dog, then I saw his tail he was laying under a pine tree at a local Country Club just as we were driving by he got up and start walking.. I’m not the excitable type but I was so shocked I yelled oh my God there’s a mountain lion, I got chills they’re gorgeous!

A few years ago a wildlife officer in Ohio took a photo of a puma walking through a nature preserve. Presumably it was a young male that was looking for a female, not unlike the Connecticut Cat. Perhaps you saw the same puma who kept heading East?
And they certainly are gorgeous. It was quite short-sighted of our ancestors to eliminate so many incredible animals from the Eastern states.
