Wyoming Game and Fish caught and relocated a female Mountain Lion last night around 8 pm.

The Thermopolis Police Department announced on September 14th that they received a call reporting a dead antelope near the golf course, where the carcass appears to be the result of a mountain lion kill. Wyoming Game and Fish was contacted and responded to the area.

Mountain lions, the most elusive of the large carnivore species in Wyoming, are found statewide but rarely seen.

Their cryptic behavior is a result of the successful stalk and ambush predation strategy they use to survive. Mountain lions' primary food source are deer and elk, although based on research conducted in Wyoming they eat a variety of mammals including porcupines, raccoons, beavers and coyotes.
