- Mountain Lions in Connecticut
The mountain lion once roamed free and wild all across the Northeast. It was eradicated from this region in about 1890 and declared officially extinct here in 2011, only one month before a 140 pound male cougar was struck by a car and killed in Milford, Connecticut. If they are extinct then why do so many people see them and how do you explain the recent kill? Robert Tougias will answer this question and discuss the future of the large carnivore here in New England. Robert Tougias is a nature author and has been studying the eastern cougar for two decades. He is the author of the book The Quest For The Eastern Cougar. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
This event is jointly sponsored by the Cheshire Planning Department and the Cheshire Library.
