Mountain Lion Tranquilized In Boulder Backyard

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) ― A mountain lion found devouring a deer in a Boulder backyard has been relocated to the mountains northwest of the city. State wildlife officers tranquilized the 90 lb. cat and released it Thursday.

A man who saw the mountain lion in his neighbor's backyard called wildlife officers. He had noticed that the deer were acting strangely.

The man's wife told officers that the cat just stared at her husband.

It's not unusual for mountain lions to be seen in Boulder, especially in the west side of the city, which abuts open space and city mountain parks.

The latest encounter was at least the fourth one between mountain lions and people in the Boulder area in the past year.
