Three mountain lions were recently seen in a Tucson backyard.

A photo was recently snapped of three mountain lions drinking overflow from an artesian well.

The photo, posted by the Arizona Game and Fish Department on Twitter, shows a female mountain lion with two younger mountain lions in a backyard south of Sabino Canyon.

The department says the animals then cleared the area, "likely returning to the canyon." 

Game and Fish recommends reporting wildlife sightings to 623-236-7201.
