LINCOLN, Neb. - A mountain lion was shot and killed by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission at a ranch northwest of Rushville on Sunday, Feb. 21. Commission law enforcement personnel were notified early Sunday morning of a mountain lion hiding under a livestock trailer near the ranch house. Because of the proximity of the cat to the house and the people on site, the situation was determined to be a safety risk by the responding conservation officer. The mountain lion was a female, weighing approximately 100 pounds. It did not appear to have been nursing kittens. It was the 96th confirmed mountain lion sighting in Nebraska since 1991 and the 68th in the Pine Ridge.
