This was repeated in other news dispatches due to three new mountain lion cubs from South Dakota being placed at the Philadelphia Zoo.

Perhaps the media was creating a new urban myth, or that’s what someone at PSU wanted to see in print, but that’s the “Nittany Lion” story given there.

Other websites have other stories, of course.
