U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE DECLARE EASTERN COUGAR IS EXTINCT

The elusive Puma concolor couguar (eastern cougar) has been on the endangered species list since 1973.  Yesterday, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service concluded that the aptly named ghost cat is extinct.  You can read the offical report here.


I also suggest reading The Eastern Cougar: Historic Accounts, Scientific Investigations, And New Evidence by Chris Bolgiano.
