Mountain Lion or Lynx? I've read rumors of the Eastern cougar for years, and had a future wildlife major friend at Penn State who thought one stalked him back in '69 in the area.

The only confirmed sighting I've heard of was Delaware County, PA and that one escaped or was let loose. Wreaked some havok, and I don't know the outcome.

The last good article I read debunked all cougar sightings from TN North.

We had a cougar sighting here confirmed through DNA from scat found at the spot of the sighting. State biologists thought it was either a runaway domestic animal (who the hell keeps cougars?) or an animal that was just "passing through" the area.
