## Caption

Indiana deputies responded to "a report of two large, exotic felines" in Madison County. According to the sheriff's department, a resident reported "what appeared to be a 300-pound lioness wearing a blue harness alongside a smaller cub estimated at 100 to 150 pounds." The resident said the animals were traveling southwest before they lost sight of them.

Deputies from the Madison County Sheriff’s Department, the Hancock County Sheriff’s Department and the Indiana State Police (ISP), conducted an extensive four-hour search of the area. The MCSD says this report is still unconfirmed, as "no law enforcement officials have witnessed anything unusual."
