A north Boulder resident trying to catch a glimpse of whatever was eating his wife’s flowers instead recorded something much bigger that probably wasn’t terribly interested in eating plants.

Resident Richard Gordon sent the Daily Camera a video of a mountain lion prowling through his backyard on Monday in the Wonderland Hills area. The animal can be seen drinking water from a pond before wandering off camera.

“Set up my critter cam to see what was munching on my wife’s trillium inside our fenced patio,” Gordon wrote. “Got this surprise instead!”

The Wonderland Hills area has been no stranger to mountain lion activity this spring. Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers have already relocated two juvenile mountain lions from the area after they were spotted in the neighborhood several times, including once up a tree near a walking path.
