State joins search for African lion in W.Va. woods

quote[A state agency is using a video camera and raw chicken to help determine whether the king of the jungle is prowling the woods in Greenbrier County.



Bow hunter Jim Shortridge swears he saw a full-grown, male African lion weighing between 250 and 300 pounds at the foot of Cold Knob Mountain earlier this month. The state Division of Natural Resources confirmed that at least one other person has reported seeing the lion.



Using a camera normally employed to catch people dumping trash illegally, the state Department of Environmental Protection has joined with Greenbrier County Animal Control Officer Robert McClung and exotic animal expert Jim Forga to see if they can substantiate the sightings.



Twenty pounds of raw chicken left on the site last week were devoured, but McClung said that doesn't prove the lion's existence.]


Yikes!

Is this due to global warming??? (I jest).
