In May 2023, a homeowner in Douglas County was astonished to find a partially paralyzed mountain lion taking cover between her basement window well and a spruce tree, dragging itself forward with its front paws. The year-old female couldn’t stand up, a phenomenon clear in the video the owner took while safely inside the house. Wildlife officers tranquilized the debilitated lion, then euthanized her with a gunshot to the chest to protect brain cells for a necropsy. After a year of studying the animal, researchers are declaring her the first North American case of “staggering disease” in a mountain lion. The disease, caused by variants of the rustrela virus, makes a virulent attack on muscles and the nervous system and is more frequent in Europe. It was known best in European cats, especially in Sweden, but has now been found to attack mammals including cats, horses and possums. 🎥 Erica Rhinehart, via Colorado State University ➡️ Read more: https://buff.ly/3W1Wt6c ☀️ Like and follow for Colorado news

All four gates opened on the Morrow Point Dam in Montrose County for the first time since 2017 last week, providing a spectacular display of force as water spills into the Gunnison River, the fifth largest tributary to the Colorado River. While the flow from 15-foot-wide gates 468 feet above was intriguing to tourists and locals, the water was intended to simulate spring runoff conditions to protect the Colorado pikeminnow, razorback sucker and three other endangered fish species. 📷 William Woody, Special to The Colorado Sun
