Connecticut mountain lion 'crossed US' before death
A mountain lion killed on a road in the US state of Connecticut had walked halfway across the US before it died in June, scientists have said.DNA tests showed the cat was native to the Black Hills of South Dakota, 1,800 miles (2,896km) away, scientists said.
And its DNA matched that of an animal collected by chance in 2009 and 2010 in the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The evidence suggests the cat had made the longest-ever recorded journey of a land mammal, scientists say.
The mountain lion, also known as a cougar or a puma, is a type of big cat native to the Americas.
The species once ranged widely, from British Columbia in Canada to Argentina and Chile, and from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic, but its habitat in North America is now mostly limited to the western US and Canada, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, a government agency dedicated to the management of fish, wildlife and habitats.
