Abstract:
North Carolina is slowly restoring animals that were largely or entirely extirpated during the last century. Reintroductions include the otter, beaver, elk, wild turkey, and red wolf. The Horizon 2100 plan calls for the reintroduction of the Eastern cougar. This animal is what is called an “apex predator,†or an animal that sits at the top of the food chain. Manuel discusses whether large predators should be brought back into North Carolina and whether they can possibly coexist with people in the twenty-first century.

Researchers with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are trying to determine if Eastern cougars still exist in the Great Smoky Mountains and other North Carolina wilderness areas. While there have been reports of cougar sightings, they may have been mistaken for other cat species of similar resemblance.
