The Quest for the Eastern Cougar: Extinction or Survival?
Time: 4:00 PM-6:00 PM
Place: Brooks Memorial Library, Brattleboro, VT (about 19 miles from Keene)
Price: Free
Ages: Older crowd
Join author Robert Tougias for a booktalk and discussion of The Quest For The Eastern Cougar: Extinction Or Survival? on Thursday, January 12, at 4 PM, in the Library's Meeting Room.
Is There This Beast In Our Midst? What is it about cougars? Why does this phantom of the eastern woods stimulate such passion among so many people? For decades wildlife biologists have been telling us that they do not exist east of the Mississippi and yet each year there are hundreds of people claiming to have seen one. Is there any truth to these claims, or are they misidentifications, wishful thinking or tall tales? Nature writer Robert Tougias journeys deep into the world of the cougar and into the reasoning of those that believe they exist and those that do not.
The Quest For The Eastern Cougar: Extinction or Survival? is an informative voice of reason that quiets the confusion regarding the powerful predator. It tells us about the cat's historic demise and alleged modern human encounters. The scientific explanations as to why one ought to believe or dismiss the cougar's presence are unraveled. It discusses the ultimate question: whether or not cougars have survived in the East or have already left us.
