| Not a Mountain Lion, but I'm wild. |
The Daily Journal, 7/19/16, "Mountain lion sighting turns out to be house cat."
"Reports of a mountain lion at West 20th Avenue and La Salle Drive just
off Alameda de las Pulgas in San Mateo Sunday night turned out to be
that of a house cat, police reported Monday.
The Department of Fish and Wildlife determined from a photo that what was initially reported to be a mountain lion was a smaller cat based on the animal’s characteristics and its scale compared to a sign next to it in the photo, police said.
Police were called to the location just before 8 p.m. Sunday and set up a perimeter to find the cat. Officers searched for about an hour without locating it, police said. A mountain lion did run loose for a few hours just south of Central Park May 18, 2015. It was eventually tranquilized and returned to the wild."
