Many Mainers say they’ve seen mountain lions here, while others say they don’t live in Maine at all. Today, I’ll let you be the judge, and share an interesting image from Bucksport sent in by Nolan Raymond of Hermon. The photo shows a cat, I think most will agree. Whether it’s sporting the long tail of a mountain lion or the short tail of a bobcat is up for debate. The only other cat it could be is the Canada lynx. They are very rare in Maine, and protected. They are slightly larger than a bobcat, and have distinctly pointed ears, which are not evident in the photo. Give it a look and let us know what you think.
