The mountain lion that showed up in the backyard of a Frisco, Texas, resident has taken the internet by storm.

The mountain lion was spotted in the backyard of a house in western Frisco on Nov. 1, Texas Wildlife Department said.

For the first time in years, the State of Texas confirmed the sighting of a mountain lion in North Texas. Video was taken last week in a Frisco backyard that showed a mountain lion on the prowl. But if you think you've seen a mountain lion in your own backyard in North Texas, you're probably wrong.

Mountain lions can move dozens of miles a day. There’s no established population of mountain lions in North Texas, making this sighting extremely rare.

Brent Blackwell said he saw the mountain lion on his camera Friday and reported it to the Department of Parks and Wildlife.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department confirms a mountain lion was spotted in Frisco, near Lake Lewisville. The lion was recorded on security camera footage and reported to the state parks department on Nov. 4.
