"The creature had been seen by a local man who was a retired veterinarian/wildlife warden. He offered a bounty to any hunter who could capture or kill the creature."I received the following account:"I live in Northeastern Pennsylvania, in rural Pike County, very near Promised Land State Park. I and many others in my town had seen what locals referred to as a 'bear cougar.' This was a four-legged cat-like animal body that was built like a bear, only slighter in the frame. The fur was a deep brown, and the creature had a long bushy tail, almost like a fox tail, but more like a big cat. The creature’s head and ears were cat-like, but its muzzle was elongated like a bear/dog.I saw this creature run across the road one morning on my way to work. Lots of locals had seen this creature for several months in 2019. Most notably, the creature had been seen by a local man who was a retired veterinarian/wildlife warden. He has seen bears and he has seen mountain lions (even though the Game Commission avows that they aren’t in Pennsylvania) and he was adamant that this creature was neither of the two, but claimed that it looked like a hybrid of the two animals. He went so far as to offer a bounty to any hunter who could capture or kill the creature.A few months after that, the State Police and Game Commission were seen in much higher concentrations around the area (this is a very rural community and the only time we see police is when they are called, so it was strange to see them patrolling the area). Shortly after that, no more sightings of the creature had been reported.Have you received any similar reports of this creature?" PNOTE: The Pocono Mountains region has produced a wide variety of cryptid sightings for a long period. Bear, Bigfoot, and cryptid canine sightings and encounters are not uncommon. As far as a 'bear cougar,' that's a new one to me. Lon**********ALIEN ENCOUNTERS!
