Rapid City, SD, October 26, 2026 —
A mountain lion has been spotted in the Corn Creek community near Rapid City, South Dakota, prompting wildlife officials to warn residents to remain alert and take precautions.
The warning concerns a sighting in the community. The information provided does not specify when the animal was seen, where in Corn Creek the sighting occurred, or whether it has been spotted more than once. It also does not identify the wildlife officials who issued the warning or provide details about the precautions residents were advised to take.
No information was provided about the animal’s movements after the sighting, whether officials are monitoring the area, or whether any encounters or injuries have been reported. The circumstances surrounding the sighting, including how it was reported, were not specified.
Residents have been advised to remain alert, but the warning summary does not include additional guidance. It also does not state whether officials have issued an update or describe any further action taken in response. The available information therefore confirms a reported mountain lion sighting in Corn Creek and a general warning to the community, but leaves the timing, location details and response measures unclear.
