“She is kind of getting a little bit more bold in terms that we’re seeing it more kind of in early evening hours. We were just see it kinda late at night.
“That’s kind of like on Wildlife Road, Fernhill, Zumirez.
“It’s been reported that she’s killed some sheep off of Zumirez north of PCH.
“So it’s active.”

“You know it’s got everybody kind of freaked out.
“I found out a couple days ago that it chased one of the residents on their property all the way from their backyard up into their house.”
While mountain lions are often seen along the hills … it’s unusual to have one spotted so far into the city.
State wildlife rangers will not relocate these animals … unless is becomes aggressive to people.
