Phoenix Mountain Lion

Phoenix Mountain Lion

Mountain lion was spotted in north Scottsdale Arizona, drinking out of a backyard swimming pool.

Please keep in mind that if you live in areas that can have mountain lions or dangerous snakes, it always pays to go out in the backyard prior just to opening your patio door and letting your dogs out.  Having a high wall around your property in such areas, he’s really any deterrent for a mountain lion.

Mountain lions, also known as cougars or pumas, are known to inhabit various regions in North America, including parts of Arizona. While they are primarily found in mountainous and forested areas, it is possible for mountain lions to occasionally venture into urban or suburban environments, including the Phoenix metropolitan area. However, it is relatively rare for mountain lions to be spotted within the city limits.

Phoenix, being a large urban area, does not have a significant population of mountain lions compared to more rural or wilderness areas. The natural habitat of mountain lions in Arizona is typically the mountain ranges and remote areas outside of populated regions.

Occasionally, there have been reported sightings of mountain lions on the outskirts of Phoenix or in nearby mountainous areas such as the Superstition Mountains. In such cases, local authorities and wildlife officials usually respond to ensure public safety and the well-being of the animals.

If you encounter a mountain lion or suspect their presence, it is important to exercise caution and follow appropriate safety guidelines. It is generally advised to avoid approaching a mountain lion and to give them space to move away. If you encounter a mountain lion at close range, it is recommended to face the animal, make yourself appear larger, speak firmly, and slowly back away. Additionally, it is important to report any mountain lion sightings or concerns to local authorities or wildlife agencies for further guidance.

Please note that wildlife behavior can be unpredictable, and it is always best to consult with local authorities or wildlife experts for the most up-to-date information and safety guidelines specific to your area.
