GEORGETOWN — A photo exists showing a pack of mountain lions roaming around the property of a Georgetown resident, near Graybar Mine Road.

The picture was snapped at 2:39am Feb. 19, from Tami Sutton’s game camera, mounted in her front yard to capture images of wildlife.

“People would very rarely ever get a photo of four lions at one time, so this is kind of a unique photo,” Patrick Foy, with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, said. “A group of four lions is usually a family.”

Foy said it’s likely a mom and her cubs, brought to the area because of their favorite prey: deer.

    nature bats last, Yes indeed! Cool picture of the mountain lions in Georgetown. They are scary animals but are interesting to watch at the same time. I’ve had a few close encounters. Twice down by Indian Creek reservoir and once again up on Tahoe Mtn. OLS

    OLS, ive never been lucky enough to see one but ive been out hiking east of Chico and heard one, also been out and just felt I Was being watched by one. Yes, they are certainly scary to have in your yard but we choose to live in their habitat so we need to be aware of their presence.
