Cougar sightings continue to be reported

YORK, Neb. (AP) — Four more mountain lion sightings have been reported in York County, although one has already been debunked.

York resident reported seeing a mountain lion go into a cornfield Monday afternoon.

On Monday morning, another sighting was reported west of town along Road G.

Sheriff Dale Radcliff says another report on Monday came from someone who reported seeing a mountain lion about 3½ miles south of Waco on Friday.

None of the sightings has been confirmed.

A fourth Monday report of a mountain lion came from a motorist who reported seeing a mountain lion near Interstate 80. Radcliff said that person was mistaken, because the animal turned out to be a dead dog.

Mountain lions also are called cougars or pumas.
