In today's edition of That's Not How You Colorado: Don't leave behind your sports gear.
Pictures posted to Twitter by Colorado Parks and Wildlife employees show what looks like a bobcat playing goalie in a soccer game.
But that's not the case.
A bobcat became entangled in a net that someone left on goal posts. It was found on a field in the Golden Hills area of Colorado Springs.
The pictures show all four of the animals paws trapped in the net's holes. CPW said the animal was able to free itself, but others aren't so fortunate.
"Here's why we ask you to take down sports nets when not in use. This bobcat was trapped in a soccer net in the Golden Hills area of Colorado Springs. This bobcat was lucky. It escaped with its life. Others injure themselves or die frantically trying to escape," they wrote in their tweet.
Two years ago, a bull elk trapped itself in a soccer net left up at the U.S. Air Force Academy campus. Trying to escape, the elk pulled on the net so hard that the steel soccer goal fell to the ground.
Wildlife officers tranquilized the elk to cut him free. The elk survived and walked away on his own.
