Mountain Lioness on The Property!

Wednesday, I heard a knock at the door (it was around 3:30 in the afternoon).... which is rare unless I'm expecting someone because I live in the mountains. 

It was the Wild Life Division.  The lady said there was a mountain lion on the property within the last day or so and she wanted to know if she could have permission to look around.  They were trying to capture her long enough to change her GPS collar.

I said sure, so they went up, behind the house and found one of the lion's kills.... it was a raccoon.  She said the mountain lion would probably return this evening to consume it. 

They set up a trap, caught the mountain lion and then came to the door and said the kids could come out and check her out!  It was about 10pm when they came to the door. 

I was actually at school and my ex was watching the kiddos at my house.  What a great experience for all of them!

Tiana (11) gave the mountain lion a shot (immunizations I'm guessing), Isaiah (7) changed the lion's GPS collar, Jayden, Malik and Keenan all got to pet her and check out her teeth and claws.







Super cool!
