What to do when you see a mountain lion

At 10:50 am this Sunday morning, a mountain lion was seen in the vicinity of the  

1750 block of Cordilleras Road in Redwood City.  The mountain lion was traveling 

uphill from a creek area in an area of open acreage. Sheriff's Deputies responded 

to the area to investigate and found tracks.  Currently, no additional 
information is available.  
  
If you see a mountain lion DO NOT APPROACH IT, especially one that is feeding or 
with kittens. Most mountain lions will try to avoid confrontation.   
  
Here are a few tips:  
  
Avoid hiking or jogging when mountain lions are most active—dawn, dusk, and at 
night.  
  
Keep a very 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.
