Mountain lions visiting suburbs for food, but people aren’t on their menu: expert

Are the mountain lions of the Bay Area retreating from the Santa Cruz Mountains and into the urban sprawl?

Mountain lions have been caught lurking in the shadows on security cameras in Millbrae over the past week. A handful of residents in the Oakland hills and Piedmont say they’ve seen mutilated deer carcasses in their neighborhoods. One wildcat was even caught in a tree in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights neighborhood and transported to the Oakland Zoo three weeks ago, while another broke into a San Bruno home filled with game trophies a week later.
