Getting three kids to pose for a photo is hard enough. Imagine trying to pull that off when those three kids happen to be mountain lion cubs.

But a man in north Boulder managed to pull off such a feat, snapping a photo of three mountain lion cubs hanging out on his deck on Saturday.

“They were all stretched out on our deck,” said Frank Adcock, who took the picture from his home on Orange Lane in north Boulder. “But they the three of them were grouped together, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime shot.”
