Dallas Morning News reports that "State wildlife officials…haven't been able to confirm a mountain lion sighting reported last month in Allen. Witnesses said they spotted a big cat, about 80 to 90 pounds, in an east Allen neighborhood near Lucas." The absence of physical evidence – paw prints or animal carcasses, for example – doesn't mean the state will rule out that someone saw a mountain lion, according to John Young, a mammalogist with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. "We want to know about mountain lion sightings in urban areas because we don't want to ever have a situation where someone is attacked by a mountain lion in an urban area," Mr. Young told the DMN.
Why not live and let live? That mountain lion won't bother any humans if they'll return the favor.
