Greenbrier County officials are scouring the woods near Cold Knob after receiving multiple reports that a lion -- an African lion, not the mountain variety -- is on the loose.

"We're treating this pretty seriously," said Robert McClung, the county's senior animal-control officer. "Right now, we're trying to confirm the initial report. Once we do that, we'll figure out what we're going to do about it."

A local hunter, 72-year-old Jim Shortridge of Frankfort, was bowhunting for deer Oct. 17 when the lion reportedly approached him.

Did he approach him and ask for assistance in handling a large sum of money that would be run through his bank account and all the hunter had to do was pay a small handling charge and he could collect 20%? That African lion?

Iit's either a pet that someone could no longer handle so they turned it loose or it's a hoax like Bigfoot. I bet hoax.
