Healthy young cougar
Healthy young cougar was seen on Newcastje Island and then on
a warf in Nanaimo, was not afraid of people and the game warden shot
the big cat before anyone was injured....
 
Plentiful Deer attracted the cougar to the island
Take a little ferry boat over to the island and spend the afternoon
walking the trails, exploring the beaches, or tracking down the
abandoned quarry. Better yet, make it your mission to find the elusive
albino racoon, which is a unique species of the scavenging pest that
only lives on Newcastle Island…
 You can actually see Newcastle Island from the ferry when you’re docking in Nanaimo, but most people don’t even know it exists. If you’ve got a bike and panniers, the trip can be a great weekend away for relatively cheap. Take the ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo for $20, bike along the water to get to Maffeo Sutton Park and take the little boat across (another $10) and then arrive on the island and get ready to explore. | ||||||||
