Mountain Lion Sighting Leaves Southwest Omaha Residents on Edge

Residents in southwest Omaha are on edge after a mountain lion was captured on a Ring doorbell camera. Game and Parks confirmed the sighting and searched the area, but with no new signs of activity, the search was turned over to Omaha Police. While some residents are concerned for their safety and the safety of their pets, experts believe the mountain lion is likely a young adult male passing through the area in search of a new territory. If found outside city limits, no harm will come to the mountain lion, but if found within city limits, the protocol is to kill it due to the lack of suitable relocation options.
