A Conservation Officer later tracked and killed the cougar but since then, other people have seen another cougar in the area.

“About 20 feet ahead of me I saw this image that I thought was a large Labrador dog,” says Nadia Van Tankeren, who was chased by a cougar. “I thought ‘wait a sec’ it’s got a long bushy tail and it wasn’t, it wasn’t it was a cougar. And I just froze in my tracks, I was so terrified. It saw me and started to run towards me, and I panicked and I ran so fast to a house that I had just passed.”
