More lion sightings in north Boulder

6:54 p.m. Near a northwest Boulder home early Tuesday, wildlife officers fired non-lethal bean bags at an adult mountain lion that was feeding on a deer carcass -- adding to the growing list of sightings and animal attacks in the neighborhood in recent weeks.

A woman had her Jack Russell terrier taken by a lion Dec. 24 outside her home near Evergreen Avenue and Fourth Street; residents down the road have reported a family of lions drinking at their backyard pond; and Colorado Division of Wildlife officers have fielded several reports of sightings in the neighborhood.

Tuesday, they found two animal carcasses within a few blocks.

"People in the neighborhood are pretty aware," said Larry Rogstad, an area wildlife manager with the Division of Wildlife. "This is prime lion habitat, and it's also prime human habitat."
