TACOMA, Wash. —
Police and state game agents are on the lookout in Tacoma after a resident on South G Street saw a cougar.
The man said he came home from work and his wife told him she saw the cougar. He spotted scratch marks on a big tree in his front yard, then looked up and saw the cougar sitting in the tree.
Police said the cougar ran off by the time officers arrived, but officers and a state wildlife agent found large paw prints in the area.
"There were some big paw prints -- bigger than a man's fist -- around the side of his house's flower bed," said Paul Quarles, a neighbor.
The cougar was last seen running across busy 72nd Street.
