California Department of Fish and Game was called to investigate.  They didn’t find the Mountain Lion but advised area residents of the sightings.   Mountain Lions prey on deer as a food source,   Mountain Lions typically will not attack a person.  If you should encounter a Mountain Lion Department of Fish and Game  advises  you should stand tall, make yourself appear as big as possible.
