Grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, coyotes, cougars/ mountain lions,bobcats, wolverines, lynx, foxes, fishers and martens are the suite of carnivores that originally inhabited North America after the Pleistocene extinctions. This site invites research, commentary, point/counterpoint on that suite of native animals (predator and prey) that inhabited The Americas circa 1500-at the initial point of European exploration and subsequent colonization. Landscape ecology, journal accounts of explorers and frontiersmen, genetic evaluations of museum animals, peer reviewed 20th and 21st century research on various aspects of our "Wild America" as well as subjective commentary from expert and layman alike. All of the above being revealed and discussed with the underlying goal of one day seeing our Continent rewilded.....Where big enough swaths of open space exist with connective corridors to other large forest, meadow, mountain, valley, prairie, desert and chaparral wildlands.....Thereby enabling all of our historic fauna, including man, to live in a sustainable and healthy environment. - Blogger Rick

Here's significant upcoming eastern cougar event - http://easterncougar.org/CougarNews/?p=1703
 
Mark McCollough wrote the draft Five-Year Review for the eastern cougar.  The final version has yet to be released, and McCollough himself can't say what it will recommend.  But in his talk on Wednesday, he will be presenting his scientific findings on the possible existence of "eastern cougars."  When he began the Five-Year Review, he set up a website that is still online - http://easterncougar.org/CougarNews/?p=1703
