Cougar living in US park caught


A cougar that has been on the loose in the city of Seattle in America has been caught after two weeks on the run.
The cougar was captured in Discovery Park after it ran up a tree to escape a pack of dogs used to help catch it.
Officials were then able to shoot it with a dart to put it sleep, before taking it away from the city and releasing it back into the wild.
They said the park was the perfect place for the cougar to live, as there were lots of small animals to snack on.
Capt. Bill Hebner, of the Department of Fish and Wildlife, said he thought the big cat was feeding on animals including pet cats while on the prowl.
