Mountain lion reported in Moss Beach

A mountain lion was spotted late Monday afternoon near a water tower about three blocks north of the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office substation in Moss Beach, according to the San Mateo County Times.

This isn’t the only recent sighting in San Mateo County. On Nov. 21, a mountain lion was reported on Laurelwood Drive in San Mateo, headed toward Sugarloaf Mountain. "We’ve had about 400 sighting reports this year in California,"  a spokesman for the state Department of Fish and Game said. But only 3% result in any real threat.
