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

--------
While encouraging that Florida's 100-200 Cougars are "busting at the seams in the habitat that they occupy..............truly disappointing that the highway in question does not have the necessary culverts and wildlife crossings necessary to get F.concolor through to a connective zone that would lead to additional sizeable opene space territory where they could spread out, be fruitful and multiply............perhaps an alternative solution is to capture and relocate a % of the population to other Southeastern locations along the Appalachian Spine...........all the way up to West Virginia..........allowing for multiple and in some cases connective populations to fulfill their biological top down trophic place in the food chain.
