Mountain lion spotted in Atascadero 

–A mountain lion was spotted on surveillance footage in Atascadero over the weekend, according to a story by KSBY.

In the video, the animal can be seen roaming near a boat in the parking lot of Jet Boat Performance Parts off Sycamore Road, which is within city limits, early Sunday morning, according to the report.

Wildlife experts say if you come into contact with a mountain lion, back up slowly, yell in a deep voice or hit the panic button on your car alarm. It’s also advised to make yourself look larger by waving a tree branch or walking stick.
