Wow, that looks like it took a strole in someone's backyard. Happy it was on camera and not a story of someone meeting up face to face with it

That is a good prof ,
I heard a cougar scream years ago way back from populated area ,
but did no see him .
May they get reintroduced in Ontario ...?

There will always be someone that will say it's a fake, photoshopped.

Timmins is far enough north that it is possible and the size is about right (they ain't small). Would be nice to have proof they are up there.

It’s my understanding that the MNR doesn’t dispute the presence of cougars in Ontario. They are interested if the cougars are residents as opposed to being escapees or wandered into the province from elsewhere. According to genetic testing, a dead cougar found near Thunder Bay a few years ago was from Nebraska.

Not so sure the pic was taken in Ontario or at least google search doesn't show it being from here...................
Lots of talk about it being in Alberta...
Cool pic either way...

Well Sam,this does matter a lot(no offence meant with this to you...)to find out,if the cougar is native or just wondered in from somewhere.
Like that does not happen EVER in the Nature........ooops ,i forgot the coyote........Hmmm,why we do not spend few million dollars to find that out.If it turns out they are not native by DNA,lets get rid of them(before coyotes get rid of deer-turkey-groundhog...You name it)

Pretty much the same as every other cougar trail cam pic out there lol. Always a friend of a friend took this lol


I dont have any doubts there are Cougars in Ontario, But until I see a dead one or one in person I'm not believing any trail cam pics lol

I know a guy that swears he was shooting at one about 20 years ago as it was chasing his pony. Hes a really good shot and good hunter so I'm not sure if he was dreaming or what lol
