(Lander, WY) – On Tuesday, December 28th County 10 received reports of mountain lion presence in Lander, later confirmed by Wyoming Game and Fish Lander Region Information and Education Specialist Rene Schell.
Schell confirmed that their offices received reports late Monday evening, and on Tuesday morning Game and Fish employees located tracks consistent with those of mountain lions in McManus Park.
Schell stated that the proper authorities are aware of the activity and addressing concerns/sightings accordingly.
Schell also commented that mountain lion activity is very common along rivers where deer roam, and that the most common times for mountain lions to be on the prowl are dawn, dusk, and at night.
