Connecticut Cougar Maps
Posted by: Loren Coleman on October 1st, 2011
Humans do like to connect the dots, don’t they?
If you search around the internet you can find some rather intriguing maps detailing the various theories about where the cougar killed in Connecticut came from, as well as maps of sightings of the cougars recently in Connecticut and Wisconsin, which apparently, include records of this future dead one.
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
To explain away this cougar as not native Eastern, the “skeptics” have had to reverse themselves on one of their major premises. They have all along insisted that the cougars have not returned to the East precisely because they do not get around that easily. Now they concede the cougars get around very easily. Perhaps they have been breeding in the East for a long time.
The Iowa DNR confirmed a cougar in Clinton county along the Wapsipinicon a week or so ago. There was one roaming north of there in SE Minnesota last year. There’s been a female denning near Mankato MN for years. I presume her cubs are driven away after they’ve gotten to a certain size. I doubt that they are all the same cat.
