A portion of the Coronado National Forest was closed off for a day as authorities tried unsuccessfully to trap the animals.
"We thought the risk was too great and we had to take action," Mark Hart with the Arizona Game and Fish Department said. "Mountain lions are not routinely scavengers. Mountain lions prefer live pray and they're very good at killing live pray. And there's abundant javelina and deer in the Catalina foothills so why it happened in this case, we're just not sure."Authorities ended up lethally removing an adult female and two younger lions.
