Bears, bobcats, coyotes, and deer are repopulating 黑料吃瓜网, despite being hunted to near extinction by early settlers. Is the mountain lion among those returning?
The 黑料吃瓜网 Department of Energy and Environmental Protection thinks it鈥檚 unlikely. They investigate hundreds of mountain lion sightings every year without finding physical evidence of their presence. The sightings increased in 2011, after a driver hit and who was trying to cross the Merritt Parkway in Milford. But the mountain lion鈥檚 DNA was traced to South Dakota.
Mountain lions in 黑料吃瓜网 are a lot like Big Foot and the Loch Ness Monster: elusive and spectacular creatures that are widely spotted but leave no trace.
This hour, we talk about wildlife in 黑料吃瓜网, including the Greenwich mountain lion and Buddy the beefalo.

- Jason Hawley: A wildlife biologist for the 黑料吃瓜网 Department of Energy and Environmental Protection
- William Stolzenburg: A screenwriter and journalist and the author of Heart of a Lion: A Lone Cat鈥檚 Walk Across America
