Wonder where our small population here in NY came from.
They’ve been here for longer than the sightings of this one.
Heck, there have been “several unconfirmed” sightings here since before 1993.
But every time somebody mentions it, the ‘officials’ shriek that there aren’t any here.
“Go East, young lion, go East.”
How the dickens does it get from the Wisconsin-Michigan border to Connecticut? From there the two routes are over the Mackinaw Bridge or through Chicago. (And with all the predators in Chi-town, that would be a bad choice.) Maybe it hitch-hiked on a flatbed truck.
