Nice set. The cougar looks like he's sitting on someone's front door step.

nice. I noticed you through in the Mountain lion debate. Seems we are wondering quite a bit lately what may be in these maine woods. I was hearing about wolves too, and how many possible.....

I think wolves are likely further north but identifying them is much harder because they are pretty much just bigger coyotes. Things like tracks and scat are identical except for being a bit bigger.

Cougars on the other hand are much easier to identify when you find them. What is funny is that a lot of the sightings are just misidentifications which seems crazy considering how big they are compared to any other cat species. Lynx and bobcats are tiny in comparision.
