Mainers see cougars all the time. Here's the problem: There are no cougars in Maine. The eastern cougar is extinct, yet the idea that they are a lasting presence in the state seems unshakable. Unsubstantiated cougar sightings might tell us more about people than about cougars. This story explores the history and folklore around cougars in Maine, and introduces listeners to the hidden world of pet cougar owners.
