There are zero eastern cougars left.

Not really true. Recent DNA evidence suggests the Florida panther is really a remnant population of the eastern cougar.

The eastern cougar (Puma concolor couguar) is a different subspecies from the Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) although this is debated by some scientists.

Officially the Florida panther is the only remnant population of eastern cougars left, where around fifty survive in the region around the everglades. However, reports of cougars sometimes come in from other eastern states and provinces, but have yet to be verified.
