State police at Fogelsville say they were summoned at 11:44 a.m. Sunday to a property at 1013 Village Round, Lower Macungie Township, for a report of a possible large cat in the area. Police said video images show the animal could possibly be a mountain lion.

The image was captured in the fields behind Hanover Drive. The Pennsylvania Game Commission was contacted about the possible siting.

Police are asking anyone who may observe the animal, or anyone with information about the incident, to contact them at 610-395-1438, or the Game Commission at 610-926-3136.

Whether or not the sighting was a mountain lion is uncertain; the Game Commission’s website notes in the past 75 years, mountain lions in Pennsylvania were formerly exotic pets or show animals.

The site says Pennsylvania’s last known wild eastern mountain lion was killed in Berks County in 1874. Except for Florida, the eastern mountain lion is believed to have been gone from the East Coast by 1900.

The commission periodically receives reports and photos of alleged mountain lions, but investigations most often determine these animals are actually bobcats or feral house cats.
