You better look at the puma/mountain lion/ panther that just walked across the screen definitely not a house cat, call it what you will,I grew up and still live in the heavily wooded area of Clearfield county which has some of the highest peaks in the state and that is definitely not a house cat nor is it even close to a house cat,the head,ears,way it walks and most definitely the tail and position of the tail as it walks is that of a Pennsylvania mountain lion and definitely not of a house cat nor bob cat,I'm a avid hunter and trapper and I'm in the woods as much as I can possibly be and have seen mountain lions on a couple occasions,they are not a animal that is not seen often because they are cunning and elusive predators that hunt by being well hidden and with stealth , endurance and stamina,and yes they are in the state of Pennsylvania,do a little research on them and also house cats and you will see and know the differences between the two
My husband saw one on the side of the road near a State Park in Northeast Pennsylvania. It was just chilling on the side of the road. It's a densely wooded area. The next day he saw the Pennsylvania Game Commission, a bunch of their trucks in that exact spot he saw it. So apparently other people saw it too. The Pennsylvania Game Commission has been lying about Mountain Lions being in this state for years. The sightings have been going on since 2010, that I know of. The Pennsylvania Game Commission finally admitted to Mountain Lions showing up in our state, but said, "There is not a breeding population". Animals aren't fucking stupid. They mass migrate all the time, and they are not going to go solo and go where there is not an abundance of food and other animals of their species to mate with.
I totally agree. My brother and sister saw one when they left Colonel Denning State Park crossing the road. It was at night and I asked if it was a Bobcat. Both saw the large tail and said it was a massive cat and said it was a mountain lion. We are a cat family so they know it was not a house cat. In your husbands sighting, the PA game commission was probably trying to find it and move it, ect before it could be confirmed. There is a reason why mountain Lion sightings are covered up or denied by the state. I'm not sure why that is but it seems shady.
I am completely confident. This is a house/feral cat. Most certainly not a mountain lion. Not a single field marker suggest that it is… color, pattern, tail markings, legs, forepaw, paws, head and tail, proportions to body, etc. On the other hand, there most certainly are credible sightings and authenticated videos, and images of recent captures of mountain lions in Pennsylvania, especially along the Appalachian chain into the upper Pocono plateau. However, this is certainly not a mountain lion.
I can 100% say I've seen multiple mountain lions in the Poconos mountains in pa ,they are here and have been here there's very few I've seen one 3 times living in a community way back in the middle of gamelands
A bit over 30 years back, my then wife and I were trail riding in Swatara State Park, Northern Lebanon Co., PA, and had a COUGAR walk right in front of us, full broadside. The horses just stopped and stared. She was unsure until I looked up a picture in our encyclopedia. Then she remembered the long sweeping tail and other features. That was the sighting of a lifetime for me.
Joe - How can you state that this is a mountain lion? Look at the size of it in comparison to the bush that it's standing about two feet away from. It's about a foot tall at most. A mountain Lion would be much bigger. This just looks like a feral cat. I'm not saying that there aren't mountain lions that have been sighted in PA, but this looks absurdly small to be a mountain lion. This is by no means any proof
Considering you don't know the size of the bush, you can't make that judgment. OP should have shot a comparison video with himself walking past. We do have mountain lions in PA. Saw two in my lifetime, up in the Allegheny National Forest.
We absolutely do have coyotes. I watched one rip my chihuahua head off. Mother fucker didnt make it far before I blew his head off. That's karma at its finest! As for cougars, they're around too. They're rare, but around. My neighbor had a cub in his garage about 15 or so years ago. He raised it thru the winter and let it go that spring when the weather broke. Didnt offer much human interaction so itd stay wild. The game commission is alot like the average politician. They lie! Keep that in mind the next time they tell you there aren't mountain lions in Pennsylvania. Also, just because people do t have photographs of them, don't mean they're not around. Not everyone e has a cell phone or a camera in their pockets all the time. I sure didnt back when I saw that cub. Even if i did, i sure as hell would t have told the stupid ass game commission! Hahahaha...
My wife is a home healthcare nurse who works at a clients house in a wooded area of Albion, Pa. She has witnessed a black panther roaming the area over a dozen times in the course of the past 5 years as has her clients mother. She thought it was a black bear the first time she saw it and It only comes out at night. If they live here in Erie, Pa. then they are absolutley in other parts of our state, especially in the mountainous areas of the Alleghenies not 50 miles from where we live. They are out there!
I absolutely believe this. When I lived in Claredon, PA in 1990 (the Alleghenies were in my backyard) we heard a mountain lion scream one night when our dog ran into the woods. At the time, I thought it was a woman who had screamed & I thought it was weird a woman would be out in those woods right behind our house at night. Just a few years ago, I learned that scream was identical to a mountain lion scream. Distinct from a fox or coyote. My older brother also swears he saw a lion walk into our back yard one day when no one else was around
Fox and fisher scream. You can 100% not say you know you heard a Mt lion. If there are any they are in single digits. And 100% not black never ever has happened anywhere
Black panthers are native to South America or Africa/Asia. Definitely not PA. Mt lions/cougars very very unlikely but possible but 100% not black can't happen never has anywhere anytime ever.
Yeah without better scale it jut looks like a house cat. Had a pet rabbit that I let run around my yard free. Found it dead the next day with it's face and throat gone and saw weird holes all over the yard and ants crawling in them. At first I thought it was my rabbit trying to get away from what ever attacked it. But that wouldn't explain the ants. Later as the days went by I was in my garden and I noticed the same narrow deep holes again with ants in them. The same holes I saw that day I found my rabbit dead in the yard. So it couldn't have been the rabbit. One night I decided to walk to my back door after it had been dark for quit a while I looked out to my garden and I quickly flipped the lights on in the back yard. Caught it!! It was a big feral white and black cat. Mystery solved. He had buried pieces of my rabbit all over the yard but mostly in my garden. Then came back for them when he was hungry. And the rotting flesh of the rabbit is what attracted the ants. The cat slowly slinked off once the lights were on.
I get so sick of this debate . We have been seeing mountain lions in Elk County PA for the last 30+ years. Males ,females , and females with kits . See them mostly in spring time during spring gobbler season . We have multiple trail camera vids and still shots. They are there . Have been for years . Very elusive though .
I live not that far from there and have seen one cross the road, as have others in the area. You can't miss a 3ft long tail! Bobcats are much smaller, and have that chopped tail.
Cal Ripson I can appreciate why you’d think that with nothing to see the true size of the animal. But I respectfully disagree, and I’m sure you’ll agree it certainly is not a bobcat as claimed by the game commission upon investigation of the find.
That's a freaking mountain lion my husband and I seen one the other day on route 54 coming into Elysburg off the mountain from mount Carmel at 1am it crossed the road we caught it in time we stopped looked at each other for a split second eyes glowed from our headlights, there was no street lights, we live out in the sticks, we know they are here, they travel, I don't understand why the game commission will not admit it, they have tabs on them, I know they do! Why do they want to keep lying to us? I never seen a Bob cat with a long slender body with a long slender tail, Bob cats have short tails and very tall Hind legs!! Come on that's like telling us the picture is in color when we can clearly see it's in black and white!!
yes they are here. I seen one myself and I spoke to an honest employee of the pa game commission who told me they dropped off families of mountain lion , tagged them and she said they dont bother people . Plenty to eat.
@@BMSODMG same here. crossed a 4 lane highway in front of us at 3am . coming home from Erie near the wetlands . tail same length of body. 7 feet nose to tip of tail. too big to fit under gaurd rail. leaped over. looked to be a smaller female . looked about 90 pounds.
I think it very possible! We have everything it would need !A lot of forest ,small animals and deer! Creeks and streams! If there was one in Connecticut ,there is plenty of wilderness for mountain lions to travel to Pa.
your description is poor - now a first grader would know this in what he or she would have at there home period . you need first grade back to school for you sir thank you anybody in there right mind says its a kitty cat for real dude - i seen three of them in pa western pa up from pittsburgh pa now they don't look like this sir. now in my mind how could you belive this idea drugs might come in to play over this cat in what your seeing is not what it is
I had a very large cat on home video not large enough to be mountain lion but too large to be a domestic house cat and does not have the coat pattern of a bobcat. I was thinking maybe a juvenile mountain lion ??? Not sure. This looks like a large house cat and maybe what I have on video is an extremely large domestic cat but I am very perplexed because it is too large. Over 16 inches high at the shoulder short-haired solid color light brown tan.
not sure but I have seen a mountain lion in pa and also I spoke with pa game commission . one of there honest employees told me they have families of mountain lions dropped off and tagged and she said they don't bother people . there's plenty of food for them
@@adamkabel7214 they say to thin the deer herd and to observe but I believe they are trying to re introduce apex preditors back into the wild and you might laugh but I have a theory to why so many states are getting mountain lion reports, wolf, massive coyote populations, massive tick populations , out of control wild bores ect... It's not to help nature.. it's to keep people from migrating out to the country and wilderness. 1. so we stay rounded up like a herd of sheeple in the city's and suburbs. 2. with all the apex predators they become our competition for food. And then there's that fear and real threat of lyme or spirochete illness. What a perfect way to keep the majority of people rounded up
Check u r eyes U see how short legged it is not it's a cat. Pay attention it is not a bug cat. Tail is not long enough for a dead give away it's stride is small . no big shoulders it's a kitty cat I'm sorry I study these things out forwards and backwards over many times no it's a cat domesticatedd sorry
I've done this since 1997 ,2005 season a lady told me a big cat in pa or her area plus she said she lived outwest she's a church lady honestly since I was a kid . I'm saying they bring them here or by helicopter not sure but it's close or a bigger truck at Night. Now I've searched many places long lists I've got but there's over 500 sightings I have people reporting to me it's mine but yes they bring from other states to cover pa with
I’m sure Pa has some my lions but I don’t think that vid is one looks Like a house cat that lives in the woods ...where I’m from we call them wildcats they get alil bigger then regular house cats
they said the same thing to me when I walked on the trail in reading pa and me and my friend witnessed one no more than 5 feet away from us it stopped and we stopped and looked at him for 1 minute while looking for weapons to defend ourselves. they didn't believe us because we didn't risk our lives to take out a phone and snap a picture first
@@joeandangelikakelley2302 ah ok I know exactly where it is. Sawkill I believe rite? There's a few farms on that road and a bunch of horses I wonder if that's why it's around there. We had one creeping around walker lake last yr.
If you really care, you would post another video recorded by the same camera at the same location & angle and walk by with a dog or something. Recreate the scene with something to compare. I would love to see some solid proof of them being in PA. I had 2 sightings myself. But wtf man, a mountain lion "digging up a yard"? With no prints? A 1 minute video? Lmao. I call bullshit until you post another video with better evidence.
Your little comeback involving the game commission quote "its a bobcat"...when ..."it clearly is not a bobcat" just isn't good enough. Indeed, it is not a bobcat. But i will also say, you cannot honestly believe that to be solid proof of this animal being a mountain lion. Just take 25 minutes of your time (making a comparable video) and proove me wrong. Otherwise, as mentioned by me before, your video is an obvious fabricated lie. And poorly done, at that. Again, thanks for the laugh. Fools are funny.
Nick Wicked if I don’t care enough to spend 25 minutes and re film my friends yard, clearly I don’t care enough to fabricate a video. But you say lol a lot bud so I’ll confess to you that this video is a conspiracy.
i study these videos always for waitng for someone to lie about this i act apon it cause over time you will know it - but this is crazy thinking - did you ever have a kitty cat when you were young im just saying this is nuts - and why im talking to you in the first place
Which is definitive proof that they're also in New York State in Southern tier which I've been saying all along because they do not care about or about man made borders the alligator national forest turns into Allegheny state park in New York State and they are there
That was a mountain lion 100 percent...I have seen 2 or 3 like that on those cameras ..all clearly mountain lions... Only doubts any viewer could have is if the location is PA..
after a lot of years with these questions, we've just stopped trying to get anyone to agree on anything. anymore when an experienced farm or hunting person comes upon half a whitail fifteen or twenty feet up a tree and the entrails cat catched 50yds away we just mention it to the other farmers in the area. those big cats come and go as they want over large areas. the way they kill and treat a kill is completely different from other large predators. they like to lick back the hide and eat the rib meat almost first after they bury the stinky guts. you can see the very clear big claw marks/holes in the rib cage. wish i was as sly and elusive as they whole come in close for a chicken or a lamb and youll never know it. best luck, not judging your video, just commenting. rgw
I don't doubt that mountain lions are in PA , they are definitively in CT. and NY. However, this happens to be a house cat slightly distorted in size from the camera. So yes to mountain lions, but no to this one. I do believe you think this is a mountain lion. I even believe you may have seen a mountain lion. I don't think you are lying, or fabricating, however, This one is just a house cat.
Well I should be a expert at this a kitty cat infact u said putting holes in yard cats put it back but what I'm saying is look 4 raccoons opossums buddy .I have enough time to do watch videos I'm very good at what I do in studying animals
a domestic cat all the way - you need a cat to know this was what i just said - get a grip buddy if you believe this its stupid to think otherwise on this i say go back to school learn the words starting from c a t can you spell cat pplease come on dude this is stupid its a black cat a domesticated cat - mountain lion dont dig holes in ground only for there food or cover it up domestic cat dig holes for mice or take a big dump period you need training in preschool actions taken to you to decide
i've gotten over 385 sightings half of these stories ain't true but i write them down so i know what i'm looking at - the cat in the video has way less head of it sir the tail is much larger this cat does not play into mountain lion studies that i know . go figure it out your self understand in my 45 + yrs i seen millions on tv before - first off it was the height of it throw me off of this case study please we all know this is not infact a cougar and if they said bobcat well need more schooling then cause infact what im seeing none the less is a domesticated cat a kitty cat sir - i study these things everyday on a dollar i bet it was a bobcat its not one those either
Well I know I seen one in the state near islen pa , for a fact it's a cat a kitty cat for one thing It's not a bobcat it's wrong and it's not mountain lion either it's a cat in back yard for sure
