HARRISON, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says a mountain lion has been unintentionally killed in a trap in northwestern Nebraska.

The mountain lion was a young female weighing about 85 pounds that appeared to have been in good health before it was killed in the Sioux County trap intended for bobcats and other fur-bearing animals.

The animal was discovered in the trap on Friday.

The agency says the trapper called Game and Parks immediately upon discovering the mountain lion in a cable restraint trap, as required by state regulation.
