Mountain Lion Roaming Close to Casper Mountain Homes

Today I found a real treat in my email. Here is the email and some excellent shots of a beautiful mountain lion who makes himself right at home at this Casper Mountain property. What’s unusual about this Mountain lion is that, as a species,  mountain lions like to remain elusive and are hard to pin down. This one doesn’t seem shy at all. 

email:

A few weeks ago our friends in Casper, WY mentioned that they had seen lion tracks in the snow on their deck behind the house.  They live on Casper Mountain just south of, and over looking Casper.  Then a few days ago they mentioned that one of their neighbors across the road had seen a lion in the driveway in front of their house.  About an hour ago they sent the pictures below.  The last picture is behind their house where I think they first saw the tracks.  This is one pretty good sized cat.  His apparent lack of fear or respect for people makes for an uncomfortable feeling when you go outside in the middle of the day.  He appears to be in good condition.

    i live on garden creek rd i think this is just behind my house. about 2 weeks ago i also saw tracks in my yard. our kitty came up missing around this time haven’t seen her since food i think. i have been looking for a cat for about 2 years. i have seen deer in the yard that have been attacked large gashes guts hanging out. i would be interested to find out where these pictures were taken. if someone could let me know it would be appreciated. there is a small herd of deer eating on the grass maybe one day i will be lucky enough to see this cat in action.
