TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — A local man has spotted a mountain lion in his yard Thursday evening.
Jerry Rowlette lives out in the Mountain Foothills here in Tucson.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department's Tucson Office commented saying that sightings like these are not completely out of the ordinary "in outlying areas."
Though it may not be uncommon, the department welcomes help in tracking where wild animals may be traveling to/from.
