I guess I missed that one. A ten year old with no cubs though. Trash can bear?
There have been increased sightings of pumas in the west metro green belts off the foothills the last few years. Why not? Can’t shoot them and poodles are easy to catch. So are little kids...
It is too dangerous to leave windows open on the ground floor anymore.
So people have buy and install air conditioning units $$$, then run them $$$, or live in a hot house with the windows closed.
Thank you Sierra Club.
Since the 1880’s, sheep herders and cowboys would take care of any predator attacking their animals.
I bet these types of stories will increase as the predator population increases.
A family was stunned when a mountain lion entered their home early morning, killed one of their dogs right beside their bed, and carried it off into the night. The dog was a 12-year-old yellow lab named ‘Scout.’ “It was 4 a.m. and we were sleeping,” said Mack Anderson.

Similar story in Salida recently...the mtn. lion entered thru a doggie door in the middle of the day with mom and some kids in the house.
