People have been seeing cougars around here for a long time. Just never any evidence of them. Finally some proof

My Dad seen one growing up in Sudbury. When we would go biking in the woods he would always warn us to watch out for the cougars.

Almost hit one just west of Kenora while driving to Ontario back in 2014. Can't mistake it for anything else when you drive right beside it.

"It was in really bad shape when I skinned it. Very thin," he said. "It weighed about 80 pounds, but it was all skin and bones. It seems like it died of natural causes."

Must have been from the north end of Hamilton. Lot of cougars there!

Burn.... and in more ways than one

Escaped pet that couldn't hunt for itself and got into a porcupine.

Well even cougars don't stay alive forever.

Porcupines are on the menu naturally and they do walk.

Ain't that the truth.

Naw - it was no pet - and there are lots of quills in the throat - poor thing. We have had multiple sightings - one hour into Ontario from the Manitoba border against the US border - the closest was next door.

Check out the African porcupine quills for sale on Ebay!

Cougars have an enzyme that dissolves quills........the tom my son shot a month ago had several fresh and semi dissolved quill in his anatomy...........Harold

My father saw one in a rock cut on Highway 17 about 200 km east of Thunder Bay in the 50's. He stopped and leaned across the car as it was on that side. He said he was 6 feet from it watching that long rope like tail swish back and forth. Never told anyone because he didnt want to get called a "f'n liar". Came up one night in the moose camp when I was talking about all the cougar sightings that had been reported to us in Chapleau and Wawa. And then the next summer, my daughter was jogging on Highway 101 at Shoals Provincial Park when one came down off a rock cut and crossed the highway in front of her.

I have always believed they were in Ontario - if one can transit from South Dakota to Connecticut they can certainly be here...

Definitely cougars in the Ottawa Valley.

Now that this is out, everyone and their brother will claim to have seen a cougar in Ontario.

The Government in Manitoba has only recently admitted there are Cougars here. Though I think they claim less then a dozen
