The Hutchinson County Sheriff’s Office has received a number of reports on a cougar being sighted in the Riverview and Beverly Hills area.

This is in between Borger and Stinnett.

Reports are also stating that the cougar is accompanied by one cub.

“Be sure to not leave any small pets outdoors for any length of time. Make sure that any food for pets is not left out but kept indoors in a container”, said Spokesperson for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Steve Lightfoot.

It is also advised to keep a close eye on small children who may be playing outside.

If you happen to come across the cougar enjoy the view of the magnificent animal but keep your distance and give it space to not provoke an attack.
