U.S. Eastern Mountain Lion Expressed Extinct Since 1930

Eastern mountain lion, which had become part of the wild in 21 states of the United States, declared extinct by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS).

For years, experts debated whether the fauna of the eastern mountain lion can still be found. However, researchers at the FWS concluded that if animals are included in the list of endangered species since 1973 it has been extinct since the 1930s.

"We did not find any information that could confirm the existence of mountain lions,"said Martin Miller FWS spokesman told the Daily Mail,
He added that the number of individuals who claim to see mountain lions in recent years actually saw the other subspecies. Among them are South American cat who escaped from captivity or released into the wild, and mountain lions from the western U.S. who migrated to the east.

According Rewilding Cougar Foundation, the nonprofit organization that seeks to raise public awareness of the eastern mountain lion, this animal is also known as puma, panther, catamount or painter, depending on the habitat.

Now, the FWS is preparing a proposal to remove the mountain lion east of the endangered species list. However, this does not change the status of other subspecies of wild cat which is also in danger. Including the Florida panther.

Now, there are only five percent of the Florida panther can be found in habitats which are scattered in the southeast United States.
