Edhat readers report sightings of mountain lions in the hills of Santa Barbara and Montecito this week.
-
Large mountain lion spotted on Ladera Lane this Tuesday afternoon
-
Cougar roaming behind Parma Park. Saw it early Wednesday morning while hiking in the Park. Didn’t look to be in the park but in the hills behind.
-
Mountain lion prints in my garden on upper hot springs rd.
there are cougars all over our hills and mountains….this is not news nor newsworthy. this is just common knowledge and fact. you build or live in their territory, you accept that they are your neighbors.
Spotted in my yard over the past few years. I leave them alone and they leave me alone.
If you live in the area that’s part of their range, it’s nice to know when they’re around, Zerohawk. They’re not always around houses or in the park—each lion has a big range. Some of us take walks in our neighborhoods, and it’s good to hear if one has been seen close by recently, especially if you’re walking a (small, especially) dog. I like to hear the reports. Friends have had coyotes “making friends” with their off-leash dogs in Parma. When we hear about a mountain lion close by, we’re extra careful with dogs, cats, chickens, etc.
