A possible mountain lion sighting was reported near a residence in Portola Valley on Saturday evening, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.
The sighting was reported at about 5:25 p.m. in the rear yard of a residence in the 100 block of Bolivar Lane, off of Westridge Drive.
The mountain lion was reportedly last seen running into a wooded creek area behind the property.
Residents in the area are advised to take precautions and report any further mountain lion sightings to police.
The California Department of Fish and Game advises anyone confronted by a mountain lion to not run or turn their back but try to appear as large as possible. One should also make eye contact with the animal and throw objects at it. If attacked by a mountain lion, fight back.
