A mountain lion has been caught on camera at a deer feeding station recently in
the valley. Also known as cougars or pumas, these cats prefer areas with tree
cover, rocky outcroppings and boulder fields—sounds like a description of Pine
Valley, right? So there are probably others around, but they just don't let us see them. They are usually very reclusive and will go to great lengths to
avoid other creatures including humans. For those of us who like to hike, it is
suggested that we hike with others. If by chance a mountain lion is
encountered, usually making a lot of noise will make them run. If not, do
things to look as big as possible, wave your arms, open your jackets, etc. If
one approaches, fight back with rocks sticks or even your hand
