Mountain Lion in the Hill Country?

I'll believe it when I see it.

From the Statesman:

WILLIAMSON COUNTY

Mountain lion in subdivision?

The Williamson County sheriff's office said Sunday that it received a report of a large cat, "possibly a mountain lion," in southern Williamson County. Detective John Foster said in a statement that the animal was spotted in the area of Great Oaks Drive and Racine Trail in the Brushy Creek subdivision at about 11 a.m.

Foster said the sheriff's office reported the sighting to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Residents are encouraged to call 911 if they encounter such an animal, rather than approaching it.

"Patrol units are in the area, and will continue throughout the night," Foster said. "Due to the animal being in a populated area, the sheriff's office urges that citizens use extreme caution when using the hike-and-bike trails in the area (until) the animal is either located or naturally removes itself from the area."

Foster said a resident took a photograph of the animal. The photo shows what appears to be a long tail barely visible through some brush; the body is concealed by a tree.
