I got this from the City of Glendale APB System last:
Recent Mountain Lion Sightings
Local animal control authorities received two credible recent reports of mountain lion sightings. On was this past weekend, and one was at 12:35 a.m. today (Tuesday). The reports came from the Rimcrest Dr./Cielito Dr./Deermont Rd area. This is the foothill neighborhood above the north end of Brand Bl.
There are a few ways to keep safe when out in any remote area that mountain lions may inhabit:
- Don’t walk alone
- Carry a stick
- Carry keys, or place them on your belt, to produce a jingling noise.
- If you encounter a mountain lion, yell and make a commotion. If attacked, fight back – they prefer easy prey.
- If you are in a place of safety when the sighting is made, don’t leave. Call 9-1-1 or the Pasadena Humane Society at 626.792.7151.
- Pedestrians are less likely to be attacked than a bicyclist or skateboarder. That type of fast, fluid motion more closely resembles the natural prey of the mountain lion.
For more information, please follow the link below. It will take you to the state’s Fish and Game website.
This weekend will be glorious for a hike at Brand Park. Be safe.
