Stalking The Wild Cougar:
Is It Really Extinct Here?
Arc there wild cougars stalking
the backwoods of the Lower Cape
Fear area, though they've been de
clared extinct here?
On Sunday, May 2, at 2:30 p.m., a
knowledgeable panel will discuss
the possible existence of cougars in
the region during a free, two-hour
program at Cape Fear Museum in
Wilmington.
One of the three panelists will be
Wilmington native Buster Humph
ries, a retired scientist for DuPont.
Humphries has documented possible
cougar sightings for the last two and
a half years. His research has uncov
ered the possibility of 212 cougar
sightings by 169 people from 1937
to 1992. Some of those purported
sightings have been in Brunswick
County.
Some naturalists and scientists be
lieve the cats that have been seen es
caped from captivity; others think
they arc part of a cougar population
still living in southeastern North
Carolina that never became extinct.
Also known as panthers, mountain li
ons, catamounts and painters, coug
ars or pumas are large, generally
tawny cats. They are thought to be
extinct in the eastern two-thirds of
the United States, except for a small
population in Florida. The cats gener
ally avoid contact with humans.
