A mountain lion was shot twice with rubber bullets this morning after he was found sleeping in a south Boulder back yard. He ran off into the Open Space area.

Build housing in mountain lion habitat and you're going to run in to this occasionally. The biggest predator I've seen in my yard is the next door cat who stalks the birds at my feeder, though something killed the ducks we had a several years ago. And the bunny went missing. And Chuck the turtle was gobbled up.

There's plenty to eat here: squirrel, deer, foxes and come to think of it, I'd better keep my Scotties inside unless someone is with them.
