mountain lion hit on 691
i wanted to report a confirmed mountain lion strike on 691 in southington around 2200 this evening. I have known the tow truck driver for several years who responded. He and the state police confirmed this was a mountain lion. NOT a bobcat or deer.
This is the second time in a few months that one of these beautiful animals have been struck on a Connecticut highway.

Did the person contact you? This is frustrating when people post bogus stuff

this is what is disturbing about this site and it ruins the credibility, I have seen many posts claiming to have pictures, well, where are they?????, what is the conclusion of this story???

We are still waiting for a email or call. Usually when we get 2nd 3rd hand stories they
don’t hold up. This looks like another classic.

Hi Gene
I want to support this site.
Some people have nothing better to do than harass others on the internet,
The 691 posts wont be the last. There are more plenty of assholes out there who get some kind of reward
from it.
On ANY site.
Myself i don’t think that it has ANYTHING to do with this sites credibility.
People can post whatever they dream up.
The majority who are reading along could tell after a few hours that it was a non story.
At least i believe this to be the case.
A male mountain lion was hit and killed on the merritt parkway last year.
He walked from south dakota.
Before that they said it was impossible.
Case closed as far as i’m concerned.

Hey all,
my bosses wife just showed me a picture of a mountain lion her co-worker saw last week in Farmington outside of Uconn medical. You’ll be able to see that its clearly a mountain lion and not a bobcat. She said they contacted some wildlife agency about it. I found this site via my google search “mountain lion in ct”. I’m going to email it to the contact on the bottom of the site and hopefully they can post it.

I saw it too…..getting onto 691 from Preston Ave in Meriden. I couldn’t believe it. Right in the middle of the road….sad. About 5:15pm. I called my biz partner since he was going to be traveling the same way in a few minutes to ask if he would confirm what I saw. It was really big, with a long tail. Positive it was a cougar.
