The mountain lion that was repeatedly spotted on camera in Minneapolis in early December will be featured in a new educational display hosted by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB). The Minneapolis Mountain Lion generated a lot of excitement and attention when it was spotted on camera and left footprints in the snow between Dec. 4 and Dec. 6, 2023. Unfortunately, a vehicle on Interstate 394 hit and killed the mountain lion on Dec. 6. A tag on the lion’s ear revealed he had walked 650 miles from the Oglala National Grasslands in northwest Nebraska to Minneapolis in search of mates, territory, and food. The MPRB is partnering with community members to help fund the upcoming display. People who would like to support the Minneapolis Mountain Lion display can write a check payable to “Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board” with “mountain lion” in memo line.
The DNR, MPRB, and interested supporters are collaborating to taxidermy the mountain lion and mount it as part of an educational display, which will be available at program facilities for all residents to see.
