Overview
- A hunter photographed a larger cat-like animal from a high seat in the forest near Kalenborn by the North Rhine-Westphalia border on Tuesday evening.
- Local authorities say the black-and-white images are insufficient to determine the species.
- The municipality has commissioned a specialist tracker to examine potential tracks and clarify what was seen.
- The regulatory authority is coordinating with the Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler police, relevant Kreis Ahrweiler offices, and neighboring Rhein-Sieg-Kreis communities.
- Visitors are urged to stay on marked paths, keep dogs leashed, avoid approaching unusual animals, and report sightings to the police with precise time and location details.
