The Ghost Cat of Pennsylvania

Officially declared extinct in 2018 by US fish and wildlife, the eastern cougar once roamed the forests of Pennsylvania and every state east of the Mississippi.  The last officially documented sighting in Pennsylvania occurred in 1874 in Berks County, however residents still report sightings to this day.  With 2 million acres of pristine and protected forests in the PA Wilds, it's easy to believe this elusive cat, also called the ghost cat, could exist without a confirmed sighting. --- I wanted to do something with the lovely Hivewire Cougar that I picked up after the holidays, and decided to try to recreate a PA landscape with assets I had in my runtime.  I used the included morphs for the Hivewire Big Cat to give the lion a longer, broader face reminiscent of Penn State's Nittany Lion Shrine.

Setup and Rendered in DAZ Studio 4.14 Public Build Beta.  Postwork in Photoshop Elements 8.0.

Pine Creek Gorge, aka Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. Biked 18 miles on the rail trail, creekside; then drove up to Colton Point for the view. Not much color yet, but always beautiful, no matter the season.
