This Boulder mountain lion sighting is one of 17 to occur in the Colorado city since Jan. 15, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife
Homeowners might expect to find chipmunks, rabbits, and raccoons living under their decks, but a Boulder, Colorado family was shocked to discover something a bit larger living near their house.
According to a release from Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), a pet dog found a wild mountain lion lying down beneath the deck of a Boulder home on Sunday. In response to the discovery, the pooch’s family contacted the authorities for help handling the animal.
Professionals with animal handling experience from CPW, Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks, and the Boulder Police Department responded to the call. They worked together to remove the wild animal from under the deck safely.
