I don't believe there are mountain lions in New England.
there are definitely mountain lions in CT... i know - because i saw one close up last year... i was driving near batterson state park in farmington - on the road that takes you from farmington to new britain - i forget the name of the road.... anyway, i HUGE mountain lion crossed the street right in front of my slow moving car.. like 30 ft. away and i had a perfect view of it.. and there is no way it was a bobcat... it was as big as a rottweiler if not bigger, was completely gold in color.. had a cats head.. huge paws.... and it walked across the street at a good pace, but slow enough that i stopped the car and was like - wow.. no one is going to believe me.. i got out and looked into the woods and it was completely gone..
