After having several expensive cameras stolen, the Utah Mountain Lion Conservation is asking the community for help with replacing them to continue monitoring the elusive animals.
SALT LAKE CITY — Those videos were gathered by the Utah Mountain Lion Conservation, but after several cameras were recently stolen, the organization needs thousands of dollars to replace them.
"Mountain lions are just these absolutely incredible animals. I've been tracking them on two different continents since 2015 and I never get tired of seeing them or catching them on our cameras," said Denise Peterson, founder and director of the group. "Our goal is to help people really understand mountain lions as a species, what they're really like," she explained."There's a lot of misunderstandings around mountain lions, there's a lot of concerns that maybe they're this vicious predator out on the hillside, but that's not the case."
"When we stopped seeing activity coming across that camera, we're just like something's not right here; so we ran up to check the site and all of the cameras, except for the one spy point, they were all gone," said Peterson.
