Cougar, cheetah or jaguar? None!
麻豆传媒映画police shared that a cougar sighting had been reported in a Shaughnessy neighbourhood early Wednesday (May 18) afternoon. After a closer look, the cougar turned out to be a Savannah Cat – a large house cat whose appearance resembles a jaguar or cheetah.
Conservation Officers worked with the 麻豆传媒映画Police Department (VPD) to round up the kitty, which had just been out on a stroll, and returned it to its owner.
"I'm really glad no one shot it," replied user @DwntwonDebBrown on Twitter. "They're beautiful cats but sometimes it's shoot first ask questions after. I heard of a pet husky or malamute getting shot when someone thought it was a wolf!!"
The VPD tells 麻豆传媒映画 in an email that this is the first time they've heard of a pet being mistaken for wildlife.
