LION IN NEBRASKA

In the summer of 1954, Arnold Neujahr saw a lion near the town of Surprise, which, in the circumstances, was somewhat aptly named.  The lion had a mane, so it wasn't a puma.

A lion and lioness were reported by a woman in the same summer, while a lion, presumably the same one, was reported in Rising City. 

We hear no more of these exotic felids.  Perhaps they were escapees from a zoo or circus.  Their provenance is a mystery.
