The citizen took a low-resolution cell phone photo and submitted it to police. In a news release, police say it is impossible to tell, for certain, what the creature is.
Officers and animal control went to the area of the sighting Monday morning and found no prints or evidence of the animal, which was spotted in a grassy area. Police say that coyotes and fox have been spotted in Mason City, but this is the first mountain lion report.

Pedophiles and weirdos also sighted by the YMCA. Also, allowed to be in the YMCA.
Omg!! If you blow the photo up you can tell it’s NOT a mountain lion!!! It’s got a pointed nose and face! It’s black nose is the nose of a DOG, a mountain lions nose is not fully black like a dog and the fur comes over the tip of the nose. This is probably a large yellow lab or other mixed breed yellow dog. Geeesh I think this woman needs her head examined! Or needs glasses!! Anything for attention! She would have been better off saying it was a Martian goat!!
Hahaahahaha
We need some perspective on this in order to determine the size of the animal. I wonder if we could get our esteemed mayor to stand next to it for the next picture?
A couple of employees at Martin Brower have seen this in the field near there. “BIG cat…looked like a mountain lion or some s**t.”
