Mountain Lion Spotted In Emerald Hills

SAN MATEO ( CBS SF) -- A mountain lion was spotted Sunday night in unincorporated San Mateo County, county emergency officials said.

The animal was seen at about 8 p.m. in the 900 block of Far Creek Way in Emerald Hills.

Residents are advised not to approach mountain lions, especially ones that are feeding or with offspring.

Anyone who encounters a mountain lion should face it, make loud noises and try to appear large and threatening while throwing rocks or other objects at the cat, emergency officials said.
