The wildlife & game commission here won't tell anyone there is not a type of wildlife, if someone claims to have spotted something. Years ago, there was a tiny area near here, that people claimed to have seen a bear. Officials never claimed they didn't, just that is was not common. Possibly one that escaped from a small zoo, or circus. Fast forward 30 years, and now we are holding bear hunts here.
Florida, for many years, has been the winter home to many circus, and carnival type show people. We are also home to plenty of zoos, and other wildlife parks, like Busch Gardens. Over the years, various animals have escaped, and not all were recaptured. Back then, only a few bigger cities were very populated. There were huge tracts of natural forests, and untouched land. There were farmers sprinkled around here, and there, but outside the big cities, it was not densely populated, so some of the escaped animals easily evaded being recaptured. When there was just one, and it was not considered a threat to people, they figured it could not breed, and populate, so they would let it be.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Periodically we get mountain lion sightings, always with the same explanation- none in the Eastern US, probably a bobcat, lynx or coyote. In Vermont, mountain Lions we’re called “catamounts,” and they are the team names at the university.
I don’t think coyotes look like cats.

They are in TN for sure, my neighbor saw one. And it was shot nearby while terrorizing horses.
Thanks, @ronott1. I have to admit that Spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease were disease conditions that I hoped I never had. I saw so much of it in the two days that I worked as a temporary nurse at a pain clinic. Now that I've got the diagnosis I just kinda chuckle and say 'Good one'. Not a good day today. left knee pain. I can't get up stairs or use my left leg if I kneel. The only thing I can figure out that triggered it was the turkey sausage that I ate on homemade pizza last night. I didn't eat a lot. Probably 1 large piece but obviously it was enough to set off the Gouty Arthritis. Okay so cheese pizza isn't all that bad.
In the mean time keeping my Voltaren gel close at hand, and the pain meds closer.

Wow I didn’t realize they were in Vermont!
And yeah, they look nothing alike so idk why they’re always so quick to dismiss the claims as “you must have seen a dog” lol
Oh wow that’s scary.
