Durango has a lot of deer and a lot of good mountain lion habitat, so there are mountain lions in the area.

If you put deer and (ground) cover together, it's possible that mountain lions could be there. Boulder is bordered by mountain-lion habitat, and that's going to happen from time to time.

He said he was involved with the Lions. I said 'What's a Lion?'

It had to be mule-deer habitat, not elk habitat. He didn't like elk.

If mountain lions were conducive to preying upon humans, there would be far more incidents. The average mountain lion is very well-behaved.

People can have a mountain lion in the area, and it doesn't necessarily create a conflict situation.
