Tuttle Residents Say Mountain Lion Again on the Prowl in the Area

By Gan Matthews, NEWS 9

TUTTLE, Oklahoma -- Almost a year after sightings were first reported, folks who live near Tuttle are again reporting seeing a big cat, perhaps a mountain lion, roaming near their homes.

Linda Ratcliffe said she spotted the creature when it crossed in front of her car.

"It was a cougar, a mountain lion. I have no doubt in my mind," Ratcliffe said. "I saw it going into the tall grass, and I saw the back of it, and you know, it's very lanky and then this long curved tail."

Police recommend that anybody who spots the creature make no effort to capture or shoot it.
