I'm skeptical too, but I have to admit the footage of the one on the road where he visited was pretty convincing. Though in a world of AI and deepfakes I don't know that I can trust it. Curious to see if he finds anything.
There was that zoo in northern Ontario (can't remember where, past north bay) that kept losing animals
The only thing in that area that I can think of that might fall under the heading "zoo" was a small petting zoo that I vaguely remember as fronting on Hwy 11 in the general area of the Tri-Town many years ago. I doubt they had any big cats. Certainly they wouldn't have been able to afford enough of them to get a breeding population from any escapees.
Melanistic cougars I might believe, or escaped animals from a lot further south.
