"Heavens to Murgatroyd! Exit stage left!"
Ping!
AM, please fix the title. Don’t know how “Search:” got in there.
They were not wiped out. My grandmother heard them up in the mountains here in GA back in the 80s.
A pack of cat hunting blue ticks ought to be able to prove this claim in pretty short order, I would say... If y’all are short of them down there, there’s plenty in the Rockies raring to go...
It is his 33-1/3 Birthday, after all...
Whats the big deal? I exist and I grew up in Virginia 40 years ago. Case closed :^)
I don't believe they ever left. Back in ‘65 we occasionally found their tracks along deer trails and beside creek beds. I would tell my parents about it, but they never believed me until the night my Dad and I were standing on the front porch, and a cougar screamed in the deep woods about 100 yards out. I think they've always found a way to remain largely unseen among us. Some of the old timers would tell me cougars were the ghost of Johnny Reb, silently slipping through the poplars, and still spoiling for a fight. Even in developed suburban neighborhoods there's plenty of cover and things to eat (we're up to our armpits in Va. Cottontail and deer, too many deer), and our respective schedules keep us out of each others hair...most of the time.
Jaguar’s are back in some of the states that border Mexico too, they have undeniable proof, I think this is kind of cool.
Absolutely. Several of my neighbors have seen them here in southwest VA. I have seen a photo of a dead one taken near here, too. Why all the secrecy?
If you would like to be On or Off the Crypto ping list, please let me know.
Thanks, Dragonblustar
One of them growled and hissed at me from inside a shallow cave on a hill top in Madison County, Kentucky, more than 20 years ago. It took my brain about 15 seconds to realize what was happening (I certainly didn’t expect such a critter to be around there), but I hightailed it out of there when I figured out what was growling at me.
a few years ago I was driving through rock creek park Chevy Chase DC, in the early evening with my son. We both saw what looked like a cougar. Officals had been reporting a spate of small domestic animals being attacked and reported missing...and although others saw what they assumed was a large cat, it was discounted as probable coyote sightings. What we saw was a very large cat. The closest thing it could’ve been was a blonde rhodesian ridgeback or pitbull. But dogs move differently than cats. The thing is, these animals have bountiful wildlife to feed off of...no one hunts anything in suburbia.
