After seeing so many of your comments telling me about cougar sightings in states which they are not said to inhabit, I decided to make a video about this mysterious topic. The issue of cougar sightings in the eastern United States, despite the lack of an officially recognized population, is a complex and ongoing subject of wildlife management, ecological changes, and human perception. There are several factors that contribute to this phenomenon, from the elusive nature of cougars to misidentifications, ecological recovery, and even the possibility of small, unrecognized populations.
