The National Park Service, which has reviewed video footage of the sighting, is taking the claim seriously, according to spokesperson Ana Beatriz Cholo.
The mountain lion was caught in the Tesla’s headlights. Vladimir Polumiskov moved both quickly and slowly, not wanting to draw unwanted attention. He put his two-year-old son back in the car seat and got behind the wheel and quietly closed the door. His wife, Anastasiia Prokopenko, was in the passenger seat; she couldn’t believe what they were seeing. “No way. No way,” she said. “Get in the car. Get in the car.
” The National Park Service, which has reviewed Polumiskov’s video, is taking the claim seriously, according to spokesperson Ana Beatriz Cholo. The park service has been studying the mountain lion population in the Santa Monica Mountains since 2002 when it collared its first mountain lion, which was given the name P-1 . Since then, it has tracked and collared 121 of the animals throughout the park. If collared, the cat in last week’s video would be P-122.
