No problem, Annamaria. It looked too small to be alone, so perhaps momma lion was nearby.
Hi John. Yeah, I agree, pretty special to see them. This one looked like it was sneaking around hunting. Was great to watch it sneak around and move along up mountain. I ran into a large male a couple weeks ago as well in the National Forest area outside of Granby. I stumbled upon a deer killed by the lion and the lion was standing right by his dinner. He was giving me a nasty look that said “don’t you even think about trying to steal my dinner.” That one was a little too close for comfort but after I got my distance safely, I was able to enjoy the experience in retrospective.
The boys unfortunately didn't get to see the lion in person, but it was caught on the security camera. So, they were able to see it on the video feed and loved it. They’ve been loving the turkeys that have been hanging out in our yard (might be what this young lion was after as well).
