A young mountain lion in Arizona was hilariously caught off guard by an automatic door while strolling through the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson Monday. Arizona Game and Fish Department believe the mountain lion was probably a juvenile and learning its way around the area due to the way it reacted to the doors. Kind of scary to think wildlife officials in AZ can tell a mountain lion’s age by its familiarity with automatic doors…just saying.
A young mountain lion thinks twice about entering Loews Ventana Canyon early Mon. Its age and startle response suggest that it was just learning its way around and not dangerous. Mtn. lions are common in the Sabino Canyon area, but incidents are few. If seen call 623-236-7201. pic.twitter.com/ftOw1EDad3
