Why shouldn’t the “Milford” mountain lion have traveled from South Dakota? Have you ever been to South Dakota?

The most-interesting finding by the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, is that the young male mountain lion that was killed by a car in Milford last month, was actually monitored as it moved through Minnesota and Wisconsin on its way east to Greenwich and eventually the parkway, where it met its demise. Its DNA matches those found in South Dakota.

So is the answer:

A) He heard Connecticut was open for business.

B) He heard cougars were on the loose in Greenwich.

C) The lion was a venture capitalist who had planned to open a small manufacturing firm in the Naugatuck River Valley, but died on the roadside when he found out about the property taxes.
