In Hesperia, California, a mountain lion crashed for a night in a yard shed after consuming at least among the family’s animal turkeys. A lady heard some rustling in her mommy’s shed, when she unlocked to find a mountain lion sitting there staring at her, suspiciously surrounded by turkey plumes.
She called the authorities, but nobody might get the cougar to leave. In fact, the mountain lion appeared content to remain the night after its huge meal.
“You know how you feel [on] Thanksgiving after eating a turkey? That’s how he was,” the woman said in an interview with KCAL News.
When wildlife officials couldn’t get the mountain lion to leave the shed on its own, they chose to call it a night and let it remain (with a guard keeping watch overnight). In the early morning, authorities sedated the cougar, raised it into the back of a truck, and carried it to a safe location. Hesperia surrounds the San Bernardino Mountains, where mountains lions reign supreme as pinnacle predators.
The family states one turkey is still missing, so it’s possible the cougar delighted in not one however 2 of their birds.
