A mountain lion was spotted in north Scottsdale drinking out of a backyard swimming pool.
"This animal drinking water out of our pool, and we’re like, ‘Ah! It’s a mountain lion!’" Kimberly Weeldreyer said.
The mountain lion was a little parched on Tuesday night, just like everyone else in the desert in the middle of June. "I kind of panicked and freaked out and went up to my observation deck to try to look for it. My husband was like, ‘what are you doing?’ While at the same time checking to make sure our dog run was secure," she said.At the base of Troon Mountain, homes were just built within the last few years."We’ve seen bobcats, we’ve seen mule deer, we’ve seen rattlesnakes and never ending javelinas.
As we get further into summer with fewer water sources available, neighbors think they might see more of the mountain lion.
