Mountain Lion Shacks Up in Colorado Home
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Aug. 24) - A mountain lion ran into a home Tuesday 
and escaped through a window about an hour later.
Soon after he arrived home from work, Clifton Sanches said he heard his dogs 
barking loudly outside.
"I got up to shut the dogs up and a mountain lion came through my window, it 
came right through my screen door," Sanches told KKTV.
He went to a neighbor's house to call for help and he and sheriff's deputies 
waited outside the house. About an hour later, the big cat butted its head 
against a screened window before breaking through and running away. No one was 
injured in the incident.
"They really don't want an encounter with us; as much as we don't really want 
an encounter with them," said Deputy Lori Harrell of the El Paso County 
Sheriff's Office.
Two mountain lions were spotted in Colorado Springs last month. Wildlife 
officials shot and killed one of the cats because it seemed lethargic and ailing.
"To have a mountain lion sighting is one thing. To have a mountain lion 
actually enter a structure is really rare," Colorado Division of Wildlife spokesman 
Michael Seraphin said.
