Let's talk just for a minute about natural migration.
The armadillo was native to the southwest and Mexico.
The little critter made it all the way to Florida without any help.
Pigs were introduced by the Spanish in Florida in the 1500's as a perfect example.
Now, they're everywhere in the S.E.
Natural migration does occur in many species.
Coyotes are the most adaptable of any wild canid, they follow the prey.
They possibly bred with wolves or domestic dogs along the way from the west, accounting for color and size variations.
Cougars require a huge range if they're going to survive. There's just not enough room for them in the ADK's.
