Resident films mountain lion lounging on patio

(UPI) An Arizona resident captured video of an encounter with a surprising trespasser on their patio -- a lounging mountain lion.
The video, filmed Sunday on the patio of a Sabino Canyon area home, shows the cougar relaxing on the wooden boards without any apparent sign of being bothered by the human observer.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department said it was the fifth mountain lion spotted in a residential area of the state since December.
The department said a mountain lion euthanized by officials last week was the first to be killed in 10 years.

When I lived in Lebanon, my neighbor was fishing in his pond next to the house. His dog came and cowered between his legs. He said, "Well boy, if you're afraid of it, so am I." So they went in the house. It likely was a mountain lion since you could ride a horse for 5 miles out there and not cross any fences.

We used to go past Flagstaff on the way to Kingman when we ran relay for IWX very long time ago, 15 years or so.
One trip it was snowing so hard we had an iceberg hanging off the DOT bumper on back of trailer when we got out there. ;)
