We saw this mountain lion around 8pm on Sunday evening, June 29th. Katie saw it first, and I ran upstairs and grabbed the video camera. Cat was seen in the Jackson Oaks neighborhood.

  • has there ever been any incidents of attacks?

  • Not yet. There are lots of deer in the area, so a mountain lion is more likley to go after them. We hear the big cats at night every couple of months. A unique coughing/barking/snarling sound. A hoarse-sounding "arrrgh" sound. Makes you glad you're not camping out back.

  • WOW....where is this (as in a certain part of California?)

  • Morgan Hill is about 20 miles south of Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area.

  • I've heard that Mountain Lions can be domesticated since, unlike tigers and Lions, they are closely related genetically to the house cat. Although I don't think that would be practical.

  • Quite massive cat.

  • Holy crap! I grew up in this neighborhood!

  • He does look "lost". Sometimes the mother is killed before she has a chance to teach her cubs what where how to hunt on their own. Hope this one got it figured out.

  • Scottish wild cats are also closely related to house cats-good luck tamming one of those!!!

    Domestication takes years of careful select breeding of docile animals-not every animal can be domesticated-would never try a cougar...

  • I think it's lost.

  • People in that neighborhood must not let their kids outside if they're that comfortable with a cougar walking the streets. It's probably eating cats and dogs.

  • awesome!!
