In the UK, we get the occasional hedgehog or mole in our gardens, in Las Vegas they get mountain lions!

In the north west of Vegas this week a mountain lion was found in a backyard after jumping over a fence.  Following a search that lasted over 3 hours, it was captured and tranquilised without suffering too much harm.

The lion is now under observation by the Nevada state wildlife department and will be released back to the wild in the not too distant future.
