My sister in law saw a mountain lion a few years ago where she lives in suburban Pittsburgh. They supposedly are not there according to the state. They’ve also been seen in Ohio, Kentucky, etc. where authorities claim they no longer exist.

These animals are incredibly stealthy. Do a web search for “can you spot the mountain lion” or similar things and you’ll find a lot of photos where it will take you minutes to find one. Saw one a few years back of a woman taking a selfie getting photobombed by one that couldn’t have been more than ten feet behind her. Could barely see it.

Luckily they rarely attack humans.
