I would greatly appreciate hearing legitimate stories of cougar sightings in Maine, anywhere in the state. If you would like to share your story and are interested in contributing, please contact me at rodolicojack@gmail.com.

Rather than tawny, this "cat" was a darker brown color. I opened the window to try to take a picture and, after briefly looking up at me, this amazing animal sauntered off around the edge of the lake and unto a peninsula just a little way off. I later went outside to look at the tracks and saw they had come down the driveway from Green Lake Road, circled around the house, and then went out to the lake.

The catamount was watching our family dog near the barn, when the lion got down from the fence, which was four feet tall, and its front legs were on the ground while its back legs were still on the fence. That's a big cat! Whiting has the largest swamp in Addison County, and my parent's farm is located adjacent to the Whiting swamp and a remote hillside that has become overgrown with second growth forest. They also said that the cat's tail was very thick and about as long as its body. Wow.

We have a farm and our house is pretty much built on a mountain. I was walking down my driveway one evening to the barn and happened to see a large animal run across my driveway at first I thought it was a dog but as I got a closer look it was a BLACK Puma? Panther? It looked like a mountain lion but all black I'm guessing it weighed 75+ lbs. It was amazing! (and very scary) I live in East Charleston, in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.
