Mountain Lion Lecture ~ with Bill Betty & Bo Ottman

Come out for an evening presentation about cougars when Bill Betty and Bo Ottman visit to present the latest on sightings in the Northeast and other places where these large cats are spotted. Mr. Betty and Mr. Ottman have been following big cat sightings in the US for many years and their work is shedding light what might be a return of the puma to Northeastern states.

Bill Betty, a mountain lion lecturer from Rhode Island, will give a 90-minute PowerPoint presentation that covers all aspects of cougar behavior. Sport hunting, reproduction, pets, predation, and habituation are covered in detail. The various theories why cougars could be reoccupying the Northeast will be discussed.

To learn about sightings in Connecticut, visit the website for ‘Cougars of the Valley’: http://ctmountainlion.org .

Ages 6 & up. $10/adult or $5/child. Space is limited. RSVP require – leave message @ 203-869-5272 x239 or jcordulack@audubon.org .
