Maine Watch: Maine Cougars
Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 17th, 2012
The date for the story on cougars in Maine is Thursday, January 19, at 8pm. It will air again the next night at 9 and on Sunday at 5pm. The broadcasts will be on Maine Public Television Network’s Maine Watch.
The structure of the program will be interviews in the field with cougar eyewitnesses, State of Maine biologists, and me at the International Cryptozoology Museum. The in-studio host will then do a live interview with a federal official who supports the declaration of extinction for the status of the Eastern Puma (a/k/a Panther, Mountain Lion, Cougar, Painter, and other names).

There are cougars in Maine. I’ve seen one in the open when I was a teenager and last year hunting deer my cousin and I found scat that was not a bears and too big to be anything else. The teenage sighting was in the Pittsfield area an the more recent one outside of Ellsworth.
