[WATCH] Group of mountain lions spotted roaming neighborhood in Colorado

Nature is never far from many Coloradans, with 2.9 million people living in the state's wildlife-urban interface, up from just 2 million five years ago. As a result, wildlife encounters are quite common, whether in-person or caught on security camera from afar.

Denver7 recently took to Twitter to share a video of multiple big cats strolling through a neighborhood in Boulder County on Sunday. Watch the video below and keep scrolling to learn more about this unique Colorado inhabitant.

In the video, at least four mountain lions can be spotted.

Because there are four lions together, there's a good chance they're related, likely a mother accompanied by growing cubs. Opposed to lions found in other parts of the world, mountain lions tend to live their life mostly in solitary, not in a pride. One exception to this is when a mother cat is raising her children.

Though you might not see them much, it's estimated that there may be as many as 7,000 mountain lions living in Colorado. Generally, these big cats will avoid human interaction, but that's not always the case.

If you happen to spot a mountain lion on the trail, do not run. Make yourself as big as possible and make loud noises to try to scare the cat away. Throw things in the direction of the cat without crouching down or turning around to pick up items and if attacked, fight back.
