SAN DIEGO — Rare sightings of mountain lion activity in downtown Oceanside made new fans of the urban prowler, but days later, experts wonder if the same animal has been felled. Police reported a mountain lion was fatally struck by a vehicle at 7:25 p.m. Friday just north of the San Luis Rey River, NBC San Diego reported Saturday. The San Diego Humane Society was notified by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife about the cat’s death late Friday, spokesperson Jordan Frey said by email.
At least one cat, maybe more, made the scene at a movie theater, along Coast Highway, and at Oceanside City Hall’s parking garage, officer Tom Bussey of the Oceanside Police Department told NBC San Diego. “Those interactions are incredibly rare,” Megan Senour, an expert on human-wildlife interaction at the California Department of Fish & Wildlife, told the TV station.
