Breaking: Mountain lion attacks child in unincorporated San Mateo County
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is actively investigating the incident.A mountain lion cub wandered into an empty classroom at Pescadero High School along the Peninsula in June. After several hours, CDFW personnel were able to safely remove the cub from the classroom.
Mountain lions have also been caught lurking in the shadows on security cameras in Millbrae. A handful of residents in the Oakland hills and Piedmont say they've seen mutilated deer carcasses in their neighborhoods. One wildcat was even caught in a tree in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood and transported to the Oakland Zoo while another broke into a San Bruno home filled with game trophies.
More than half of the state is mountain lion territory, and it's not too unusual to see them popping up, according to CDFW officials.First published on January 31, 2023 / 8:25 PMThanks for reading CBS NEWS.Please enter valid email address to continue
