LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Las Vegas neighborhood has been alerted that a mountain lion was seen in the area over the weekend.
KTNV-TV reports neighbors say the animal has been spotted more than once. One neighbor's doorbell camera actually captured footage of the mountain lion Friday night.
It's not unheard of for mountain lions to make their way to more urban areas. In July, one was seen in backyards in the Summerlin area, west of I-215. Wildlife officials were able to track it down and sedate it.
