Reddit reviews The Beast in the Garden: The True Story of a Predator's Deadly Return to Suburban America

The Beast in the Garden should be required reading for new Boulderites.

If the mountain lion is doing its job right, you will never see it.

Try reading The Beast In The Garden, it's about when mountain lions came to Boulder. The hippies loved the mountain lions, at least until the deer started disappearing, then pets, then people.

A neighbor was unknowingly stalked by a mountain lion some years back, during deer season. He was up on the other side of Cheyenne Mountain somewhere, walking up a valley or gulch with snow on the ground. He got a creeped out feeling, turned around and headed back to his truck, following his own tracks. He got a little ways down the trail, to find mountain lion tracks in his tracks.

I highly recommend a reading of "The Beast in the Garden", about the history of mountain lions (and their interactions with humans) in Boulder. Them kitties deserve some serious respect!

You're being downvoted, but that is part of the premise of the book "the beast in the garden". The other part of the premise is that humans are moving into mountain lion's territory. Anyways, it's an interesting read and I highly recommend it: https://www.amazon.com/Beast-Garden-Predators-Suburban-America/dp/0393326349

The Beast In The Garden: The True Story of a Predator's Deadly Return to Suburban America by David Baron

It's about the ecological disaster that Boulder, CO experienced, resulting in the death of an 18 year old after he was attacked by a mountain lion. It's an incredible book. It goes over the history of Colorado, specifically the Boulder area, and how people essentially created an artificial environment instead of the natural one, actually hurting the environment rather than helping it.
