Mountain lions can move dozens of miles a day. There’s no established population of mountain lions in North Texas, making this sighting extremely rare.
Residents are being warned to stay alert after a mountain lion was spotted at a home in far west Frisco near Lake Lewisville. Frisco officials and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department confirmed a sighting that was captured on a homeowner’s security camera on Monday."It is likely that this mountain lion is just passing through and will not stay in the area for an extended period of time," TPWD said in a news release.
The first case happened on October 27 also near Lake Lewisville."It may be looking for a suitable habitat. Probably not going to find the best habitat up here in Dallas- Fort Worth for it to stay. So, hopefully, it is simply moving through," Kieschnick said.
