Mountain lion sighted in Woodside
|
A mountain lion was seen in the vicinity of Farm Road and Woodview Lane in Woodside at approximately 3:30 a.m. Monday, March 21, the San Mateo County Office of Emergency Services reported.
The county Office of Emergency Services offers these tips:
● If you see a mountain lion, don't approach it and call 911,
● 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.

Posted by Chris Bay, a resident of the Portola Valley: Westridge neighborhood, on Mar 21, 2011 at 4:29 pm Remember if you see a Mountain Lion at 3:30 a.m. don't call 911, just go back to bed. This is the Mountain Lions time to be out. Another lucky sighting. Time for an inferred camera.

Posted by pver, a resident of the Portola Valley: Portola Valley Ranch neighborhood, on Mar 21, 2011 at 9:08 pm Isn't that Portola Valley, and not far from the deer kill at Woodside Priory School, which, as we all know, is not in Woodside at all.
