Mountain Lion in Ridgefield, CT
I saw a mountain lion yesterday, May 14, 2011 at around 5:30pm in the wooded part of my yard in Ridgefield, CT.. The local police and DEP said it was probably a bobcat but i do not think it was. It had a long tail, rounded ears, was tan in color and larger than a bobcat. I think it was a mountain lion but got told they do not exist in CT. Then I went to this site and saw all of the existing info. What I saw looked just like the photos on the site.

Well, we called the Redding Police & wrote the [email protected] (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) the prior morning on May 13th about seeing the identical animal just one town over to the East in West Redding (near Route 7).
January Sightings in Westport, April Sightings in Easton, May Redding/Ridgefield, June Greenwich. Surprized that the DEP can put this together better.

This is very old news, but I had just been recalling when the mountain lions had been disturbed during the Rt. 7 expansion in the Danbury/Ridgefield area. I heard in around 2009 or so what was VERY definitely a mountain lion (absolutely no doubt-I researched audio files of various cats and this was NO bobcat sound).

I should add that this event was in my yard in Ridgefield.
