You might be able to hear some growling in Priddis.

Some people have spotted a pride of cougars in the community.

Martin Abbott tells the Calgary Sun he saw six cougars devour a dead deer, practically on his door step.

He laid out the carcass to see if there might be any of the big cats in the area.

Alberta Wildlife told him there are at least three litters nearby.
