Moth Week continues!
Are you ready for another moth fact?
While most moths are attracted to the light, there are also some species such as the βOld Ladyβ moth that are actually repulsed by it. https://t.co/gyp1tOAlQy
The sighting was called in without a photo. We cannot confirm the species of cat without photographic evidence, so we don't want to speculate. If you encounter any breed of medium-sized or big cat, please use caution.
We have had a big cat sighting reported by a hiker at Clear Creek. These animals have been spotted in the region so it is always important to take precautions when out hiking. Staff have contacted Texas Parks and Wildlife.
Please keep in mind that attacks from big cats are rare.
Tips for staying safe while visiting Clear Creek:
- Keep space between you and the animal. Ensure the cat has a way to escape
- Avoid confrontation, alter your route
- Do not run, hold your ground or back away slowly
- Appear as large as you can - raise your arms, stand upright
