A day after one mountain lion was struck and killed in Milford, new mountain lion sightings were reported in Greenwich on Sunday.

The Department of Environmental Protection received a report at 8:30 a.m. from an anonymous caller who said there was a large cat in the area of exit 31 on the Merritt Parkway in Greenwich.

A Greenwich family called police around 11:30 a.m. to report a large tan cat in the backyard of their John Street home. The family described the cat as a mountain lion.

DEP officials said they have no official proof of the sightings and believed the mountain lion originally spotted in Greenwich is the same one that was killed in Milford on Saturday, however they take the reports seriously. The original lion spotted was likely held in captivity and then escaped or was released, DEP officials said.

The DEP is working with Greenwich officials to further investigate this incident.

As officials investigate the sightings, someone created a "Mountain Lion of Greenwich" Facebook page and there us also a Conn Mountain Lion Twitter account.
