Big Cat Tracked Down in Boulder Neighborhood

We've had a rash of Mountain Lion sitings in the City of Boulder recently. Most of the sitings have been in the University Hill area of Boulder. Today a lion was hiding under the deck of a house near 9th and Aurora in Boulder. The lion was tranquilized and taken back to the pine forests in Boulder County. This is becoming common place in Boulder this year. This is the 2nd lion that has had to relocated this year. We share our land with wildlife in and around Boulder and Colorado. There are many resources available to learn about living with wildlife. Here are a few photos of the capture. No one was injured and the mountain lion is headed back to nature. Don't you just love Boulder. It's as unpredictable as Colorado weather. Keep your dogs close especially in the evenings
