The mountain lion was caught on camera overnight, roaming around the front porch of a woman's home near Westonhill Drive and Mira Mesa Boulevard.
“If you’re face-to-face with a mountain lion, first of all, do not turn and run. That’s going to trigger something in the animal to pursue," a wildlife expert said.SAN DIEGO — A mountain lion was caught on a surveillance camera as it passed by the front porch of a home in a Mira Mesa neighborhood.
Chea has lived in the neighborhood since 2004 and said she has never seen a mountain lion in the area before. “We have to understand that mountain lions in our state tend to be just as nervous around us as we are around them,” said Daly. “We’re not on their menu as I heard a biologist say in years past. They’d rather avoid us.”
