Mountain Lion Spotted in San Mateo County

A mountain lion was spotted in San Mateo County, south of San Bruno.


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.
