Mountain Lion Seen In San Carlos Neighborhood
SAN CARLOS (CBS SF) - A mountain lion was spotted in San Carlos Monday afternoon, San Mateo County officials said.
The animal was spotted at around 2 p.m. near the 100 block of Exeter Drive.
Residents are advised not to hike or jog when mountain lions are most active—at dawn, dusk and night, county officials said.
Residents are also reminded to keep an eye on small children.
Do not run if a mountain lion is spotted, emergency officials advised. Instead, face the animal, make noise and try to appear bigger by waving arms and throwing objects.
Do not approach a mountain lion, especially if the animal is feeding or with offspring.
