Reports Of Wildlife In Cheyenne Are Not Unusual

While reports of mountain lions in Cheyenne are not an everyday occurrence, they aren't all that unusual either.

Likewise, bears and moose are sometimes seen in Wyoming's Capitol City.

Almost exactly ten years ago one moose was seen on the lawn of the Wyoming Supreme Court building in downtown Cheyenne.
