One North Texas backyard recently played host to an unexpected guest: a mountain lion. You can scroll down to watch the video. This wild feline wanderer was spotted last week, and wildlife officials, responding to the surprise sighting, confirmed it was the real deal. But before you start scanning your yard for paw prints, officials say there’s no need to panic. They believe the big cat was simply passing through, likely looking for food, water, or some fresh scenery.
