The sighting was reported at 12:46 p.m. on land near BART property, and the animal did not appear to be a danger to passengers, Johnson said.

The latest report actually states that no such animal was found under the tracks, despite sighting reported by two sources.

Well, maybe the animal left the area. I can't imagine bart tracks, as loud and highly used as they are, being a comfortable place for animals to dwell.
