Hide your dogs Hide your cats, Catty Cougar sighting in York Nebraska!

YORK, Neb. (AP) — Another report of a cougar has reached York County officials.

The local media reports a Waco-area resident reported seeing what appeared to be a cougar in the resident’s yard on Tuesday morning. The resident said the animal leaped a 5-foot-tall fence as it left the property.

The York County Sheriff’s Department says no paw prints were found and the sighting has not been confirmed.

Cougars, which also are called mountain lions or pumas, have turned up as far east in Nebraska as Omaha.

There were several unconfirmed cougar reports last summer in York County.

More information will be updated as available.
