THE US Fish and Wildlife Service declared the eastern cougar officially extinct last Wednesday, even though the big cat is believed to have first disappeared in the 1930s.
The eastern cougar is often called the "ghost cat" because it has been so rarely glimpsed in northeastern states in recent decades. It was first placed on the endangered species list in 1973.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service concluded the species is extinct after conducting a formal review of the available information, a statement said.
