Mountain lion wanders into Colorado motel

Sept. 18 (UPI) — Wildlife officials in Colorado shared video of a mountain lion wandering into a motel through a door that had been left open.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Northeast Region, tweeted surveillance footage from the Foot of the Mountain Motel in Boulder.

The video shows a cougar wandering into the motel’s office through an open door before quickly turning around and leaving.

Jason Clay, a CPW spokesman, said the mountain lion was startled by a pair of motel guests and their dog.

“Those people did a good job keeping their animal on a leash and then just going back into their room,” Clay told the Boulder Daily Camera.
