Living near the mountains, some of the larger animals come to town, but mountain lions stay farther out (usually).
My daughter got a good picture of a lion which had made a deer kill on her property in the Foothills west of Calgary, and put it on her website. Now a grandson, who lives in a small B.C. town, sent us a picture of one taking its ease in his back yard. His cat has disappeared, and perhaps the lion is back looking for another.
