Curiosité, enthousiasme et crainte

Si la présence du cougar sur notre territoire n'est pas prouvée, le mystérieux félin alimente néanmoins bon nombre de conversations.

Marc Gauthier (2006, 2007B) informs us that there are three confirmations from
Quebec’s Eastern Counties near the US border that are not on CN’s map. In April
1996 a lactating female was hit by a truck near East-Hereford village, less than
one mile from the New Hampshire border. On April 7, 2007, CN said, “We have
made inquiries to the Quebec provincial authorities but have not yet heard back.” (Miller 2007).
