    when a maine biologist is stumped...

    ..they do what the weather man does. Pretend smart and make something up.

    big black cat

    I lived in the woods, many miles with my tiny atv as a teen. I saw the brown version of not-a-mountain-lion lion.

    heck, they go as far as comparing "coon cat" to an austrian something or other. fools.
    I wonder if they know when the st.lawrence freezes why maine spots a wolf in the spring...I bet they call that a dog. yeah. make something up, earn the gov't pension. 18 years to go biologist expert. hang in there.

      Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.

          Looks like a dog to me. Maybe a lab, my friends got one that big, just a little more, uh, round.


          Edit: Looking at the picture form the story, I can zoom in more and I can see more cat-like characteristics.

              pretty old pic, seen it before...doesnt look like a dog to me, the way the belly rolls behind the legs, the head shape...

              Many many moons ago there were Mt. Lion sightings all over this area of western Pa... Bio-weenies said nope, no way..been extinct too long...late 1800's, couldnt happen...then all of a sudden poof, pictures of not one, but 2 Mt. Lions roaming the streets. Bio-weenies...oh they were someones pets that got loose. well, if they did, and ones male and the other female...uh...well...anyway.

              Some years later pap-paps sheep were slaughtered, torn to shreads...no way in or out of the pen...news reports say inline with mt. lion attacks, other bio's from other states agree....cops said wild dogs, PA bio-weenies say nope...no possible...then boomb, another photo of a mt. lion in the area...they dont know their ass from a hole in the ground.

                  They're defiantly out there (in PA I mean). Recently (last year I think) there was one hit on a road in Connecticut. My friend in the PA DCNR said they tracked that one from South Dakota (I think, it was a western state). Said he traveled that distance over an 8 month period. If they travel that far, why couldn't cougars be in any state? I also find it funny that both my high school and college mascots were mountain lions, though they were both established many years after they were supposed to have gone extinct from this area.

                      My cousin and her hubby live in Bradford and they saw a mountain lion in their yard just the other week. The "experts" tell them that they most certainly did not.

                          I guess this happens all over. glad to have posted.

                          right here on my city street for several years, an uncut tom cat got damn large. very dense wild cat belly fed beastly cat. they do lose part of the ears, and it is not even fighting..it is a survivor of winter. paws aren't cute things that scratch at rugs anymore. I watched it once, well below zero. cold street. just walked casual destination in mind. unreal. like a little lion, it had females that followed him, and they even fought during times of year.

                          when it sprayed a bumper, one could get sick. large skulled head..and it just roamed. no way to call some things domestic after that much nature.
