AURORA, Colo.—Colorado wildlife officers have tranquilized a mountain lion about six miles south of Denver International Airport on the eastern edge of the Denver area.
A man told the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Department he saw the lion run into a storage shed Sunday morning. Deputies sealed off the area and called the Division of Wildlife.
The lion was a female about 18 months old and weighed about 65 pounds.
Wildlife officers planned to evaluate the lion, then tag her and release her in the mountains.
No injuries were reported.
