Despite the public’s perception of declining Mountain Lion populations in California, they are quite numerous and for the most part have lost their fear of humans. I see Mountain Lions on a semi regular basis.

Yep. I see em when I go hiking. From Mt. Madonna to Azul Park, Mt Tam and Jenner.

They are everywhere.

“I see Mountain Lions on a semi regular basis.”

I live in the East Bay and have never seen a wild lion. I’ve seen footprints in a number of local parks and talked to people who have lost goats and pets to them, however. In my area, they are only rarely seen, but they’re out there for sure.

A DFG warden confided in me a few years ago that the mountain lion population has greatly increased in California and they have totally lost their fear of man due to no one shooting at them anymore. I have seen a few and find their tracks, some in my front yard, all the time.

They caught one in the food court at the Capitola Mall just a few years ago.
