Ledyard Sighting
Hi, I’m not sure if this is still active but I wanted to report a sighting that took place this evening, May 31, 2016, 6:30pm ish. I was driving home, and seen it cross right in front of my vehicle along the intersection of Meetinghouse lane and Town farm road in Ledyard, CT. I couldn’t believe what I saw, it was beautiful, HUGE, solid tanish color, tall, lean and had long tail that curled. Absolutely was not a bobcat, I have seen many of them around and this was no bobcat. This was located right where my home is. My children play outside so this does concern me. It did seem more scared then anything and just took off into the woods but you just never know. I think this was an incredible sighting, I have never seen anything like this before and wish I had enough time to take a picture!! Just thought I would share this with you and let you know that it did take place here in Ledyard. Submitted by Jessica Yeung

Your description sounds exactly the same as the one I saw in Lincoln, Rhode Island about 2 years ago. It was definitely a mountain lion. Beautiful but scary.

There was a class 1 (High quality) confirmation at Matanuck in 2011, which DEM hid and tried to bury. So your sighting doesn’t surprise us.
