In the Pocono and Catskill Mountains we are surrounded by forests and wild lands. In the 1800s, there were herds of elk roaming the plateaus, panthers stalking the mountain trails, passenger pigeons filling the skies, and golden eagles soaring over the ridge lines. There were even sitings of Bigfoot like creatures according to Native American legend. Due to over hunting, forest clear-cutting, and pollution at the turn of the 20th century, many species were driven out of the area or their populations were severely depleted. Over a century later, we take a look at the animals that we live with in the Pocono and Catskill Mountains everyday. Many species have returned and thrived while others migrated west into less populated areas. Today we coexist with deer, rattlesnakes, fox, coyotes, bobcats, black bears, skunks, opossums, owls, herons, beavers, otters, fishers, mink, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, copperheads, milk snakes, black water snakes, northern water snakes, garter snakes, ring-necked snakes, mice, voles, rabbits, hares, bats, pheasant, frogs, turkeys, vultures, groundhogs, and many other animals. With thousands of acres of State Game Lands, wildlife is all around us. Join us as we take a look at the wildlife in the Pocono and Catskill Mountains.
