[at-l] Eastern Cougar Now Extinct

[Victor Hoyt]

Nowhere in the article do they dispute the sightings of large cats in the Northeast. They're just saying that those cats are not Eastern Cougar. More likely Western or South American. 

I've seen them too. I know they're out there. And if I see it up along the Long Trail, it's a Catamount :-).

Black, long tail and able to cover a couple of hundred yards in a fast run without stopping.  The  people that got a set of good binoculars on it said it had green eyes.
