Mountain lion dies after killing dog near Lakeview subdivision
An injured mountain lion that had killed a dog near the Lakeview subdivision on the northwest side of Carson City over the weekend died after personnel from the Nevada Division of Wildlife shot it with a tranquilizer.
A resident reported that the big cat had killed a 14-year-old husky and was aggressively guarding the carcass when NDOW was called in, according the NDOW public information officer Chris Healy.
A mountain lion research team was in the area and responded, shooting the animal with a tranquilizer dart. But the cat died after having a reaction from the tranquilizer. They found it had an injured foot from an unknown cause.
Healy said they were still gathering information, and didn't know the exact day and time the incident took place.
