YORK, Neb. (AP) — The York County Sheriff’s Department says it’s received another report of a cougar, the second report in less than a week.
The local media reports a person called the department on Friday to report seeing a cougar cross a road on the northeast side of town, in the vicinity of the York Family Aquatic Center.
Last Tuesday, a Waco-area resident reported seeing what appeared to be a cougar in the resident’s yard.
Neither report has 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.
