MOUNTAIN LION REPORTS UNFOUNDED FOR NOW

REPORTS OF A MOUNTAIN LION ROAMING THROUGH MORNINGSIDE THE PAST FEW DAYS ARE STILL IN THE RUMOR STAGE ACCORDING TO CITY AUTHORITIES.

SEVERAL RESIDENTS ON THE CITY'S EAST SIDE HAVE POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT THEY HAVE SEEN A COUGAR OR MOUNTAIN LION NEAR APARTMENTS CLOSE TO THE FLOYD MONUMENT AND IN THE OLD MORNINGSIDE COUNTRY CLUB AREA.

SIOUX CITY POLICE SAY THAT NO REAL EVIDENCE OF A BIG CAT HAS BEEN FOUND SO FAR.

A SPOKESPERSON FOR ANIMAL CONTROL SAYS THEY HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED TRACKS OR FOUND ANY SIGNS OF A COUGAR EITHER.

ANYONE ACTUALLY SEEING ONE SHOULD REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND, OF COURSE, NOT APPROACH IT.
