Cougar spotted in Obion County

OBION COUNTY, Tenn. — A search for cat tracks in West Tennessee Tuesday night, and we’re not talking about the kind who use a litter box.

Someone in Obion County snapped a picture of a cougar.

Tennessee wildlife experts launched an investigation after receiving the photo a little more than two weeks ago in an area 30 minutes northeast of Dyersburg.

Cougars are protected under Tennessee law and cannot be hunted or killed.
