If you refer with your post to the recent discussion RE wolverines and cougars here on NatureNS then the answer is that nobody said that it is impossible that individuals could make it or made it to NS.

Hi Ulli
Reminds me of the time many years ago when I was a Councillor at a youth camp in Truro.
The councillors were not above some small parties after the youth were safely in bed
and were not always the sharpest at the crack of dawn.
Anyway one morning as the light was coming from the east, several youth came running into
our camp saying "There is an elephant in the orchard"
Scientifically this should not be so - however when the fog lifted from my head, sure enough
there was an elephant feeding on the apple trees. Pulling the little trees out with its trunk and
eating the foliage, small apples, worms and whatever else was in the tree.
Turned out there was a circus several miles away and it had escaped for a few hours of freedom.
The caretakers soon had it rounded up.
After that I tended to believe a lot of stories that perhaps were not accurate in all details.
So you never can be sure
Enjoy the summer
Paul
