Millbrae CA: MOUNTAIN LION Spotted in Millbrae CA

Millbrae CA: What to do if you encounter a mountain lion

On Saturday, September 20, 2014, at 2:20 PM a mountain lion was seen in the vicinity of the dead-end Larkspur Drive at Highway 280 in Millbrae, California.

If you see a mountain lion DO NOT APPROACH IT, especially one that is feeding or with offspring. Most mountain lions will try to avoid confrontation.

Here are a few tips:

Avoid hiking or jogging when mountain lions are most active—dawn, dusk, and at night.

Keep a close watch on small children.

If you encounter a mountain lion, do not run; instead, face the animal, make noise and try to look bigger by waving your arms; throw rocks or other objects.

Pick up small children.
