CPW warns public of lion sightings on small town trail.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife warns residents of Woodland Park to be cautious after a family of mountain lions, likely a mother and three kits, was spotted on a local public trail. The warning follows a number of recent mountain lion sightings in the area. CPW advises people to carry pepper spray and a walking stick, keep pets leashed, and avoid going alone. Mountain lion attacks on humans are rare but can occur if the animal feels threatened or is defending young.
