Akron, Ohio is not far form our regional base here at the Center bear blog and I have been to this wonderful middle America city several times. What i didn't know until recently though is the number of cougar and puma sightings this area has received since approximately 2007. The nascent of crazy cougars into areas of America long believed to be void of these big cats has been a scary and alarming story and Akron residents are starting to fear walking out at night as reports of cougars prowling the woods is enough to make ones skin crawl.
Mountain Lions are seeing the same hunting opportunities jackasses with orange vests have been monopolizing for years bagging and eating tasty White-tailed deer meet for free and more than often it is the hunters who spot their fellow predators first. This has been the case in the greater Akron area as many hunter s fear of reporting the crazy cougars seen in the North woods for not wanting to be determined to be on opioids by authorities. A motion detector camera captured what appeared to be a cougar in the backyard of a family recently and this photo sent shock waves through the Ohio Valley region and whether this was an escaped cougar form near by happy valley and the campus of Pennsylvania state university ios not know at press time. The Ohio division of Wildlife has constantly denied the possibility of a stable population of wild Puma roaming the state but half of the workers and people involved in this state agency from Ohio likely are on opioids themselves. there is no reason not to think this adaptable animal could not have found its way to a rural backwards area where their prey exists in large numbers.
