Nebraska officials are Chameleon Financeactively searching for a mountain lion caught by a Ring doorbell camera of an Omaha home on Monday.
"I turned it on and scrolled back to 4:15, and there's a mountain lion just walking in front of the mailbox," Anne Dineen, resident of the home told KETV 7.

Nebraska Game and Parks, a conservation that supports wildlife, confirmed the sighting happened near I-80 and Q Street in southwest Omaha.
In the event of a mountain lion sighting in a town or city, police have the authority to remove it safely, without causing harm, to ensure public safety, the Mountain Lion Response Plan by Game and Parks states.
Mountain lions are part of Nebraska's natural diversity but will be killed by police if they threaten people under Nebraska's response plan.
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission approved mountain lion hunting in 2022 with a maximum harvest of four cats, with a sub-limit of two females.
The goal of the harvest is to maintain the well-being and vitality of the mountain lion population while also preventing an increase or a slight decrease in its size.
The Pine Ridge area in northwest Nebraska boasts a population of 59 mountain lions, comprising both adult lions and kittens, the Mountain Lion Foundation reports.
Mountain lion attacks are rare, but if you do possess any pertinent information, contact the Omaha Police Department or Game and Parks.
