A mountain lion was seen wandering a San Mateo neighborhood and visiting a home’s backyard, the second mountain lion sighting in the city in three days, authorities said Monday.
San Mateo Police said in a press statement Monday that the department received a report Sunday evening of a mountain lion in the backyard of a home on the 4000 block of Kingridge Dr. just west of Alameda De Las Pulgas in the city’s Sugarloaf neighborhood.

The resident told responding officers that the cougar had left the backyard and walked to a nearby parking lot before disappearing. A search of the area did not locate the cat.
Police said it was unknown if the mountain lion was the same one spotted two days prior.
People are reminded that one should not run if encountering a mountain lion. Instead, face the animal, make noise and try to look bigger by waving your arms; throw rocks or other objects; pick up small children and pets.
