Hello, yikes...

San Jose Mercury News/Bay City News Service, 9/20/14, "Millbrae:  Mountain lion spotted near I-280."

"MILLBRAE -- A mountain lion was spotted in Millbrae on Saturday afternoon, according to San Mateo County emergency officials.  Deputies responded to a report of a mountain lion at the end of Larkspur Drive by Interstate 280, the officials said.

Anyone who sees a mountain lion, particularly ones feeding or with their offspring, is advised to not approach it, emergency officials said. Those who encounter a mountain lion should not run but rather face the animal, make noise, throw rocks and wave their arms in the air to appear larger than the animal.
