Young cougar = breeding population
This sighting was just over the border from the town of Kent, CT, about 200 feet into NY. I’m an experienced outdoorsman very familiar with animals in the area. What my wife and I clearly saw last week was not a native animal. As it crossed the road fifty feet in front of our car …
UPDATE DNA TEST from Massachusetts comes back POSITIVE
UPDATED As was posted, material was collected at the scene of a horse that was injured in Late June, in Petersham, Massachusetts. It was sent for DNA testing, and both fur and blood have tested positive for Puma Concolor (Mountain Lion), North American. This pretty much eliminates it being a “released pet” as has been …

Marlborough “Mountain Lion” Circulating
The “mountain lion” picture circulating all over social media from Marlborough is NOT a mountain lion. Its a bobcat. The original version showing more of the back end clearly showed the short tail. The cat also has the diagnostic white spots on the back of the ears, stripes on the legs, and the “jowls” hair …
