This has gone viral--im guessing its from west of Telluride since that's where they've made an effort to reintroduce them...

Wow, that's cooler than the other side of the pillow! I'd love to see one that close.

Hopefully that was a rare encounter, since these cats are usually more secretive in their behavior. If they are recent releases, that could account for this sighting as well, since they don't know the area and would be looking for new territory. They don't appear to be too disturbed by the presence of the photographer (it's not a shot of the south end of a north bound wild animal :) ) Good luck to them, and I hope the snowshoe hare population in that area is sufficient.

Very, very cool! Thanks for sharing this with us.
And I'm positive I recognize the area just from the curves in the road and environs..
