Mountain lion behind chaotic incident in Irvine last month is possibly spotted in Mission Viejo
A mountain lion is now back in the wild in Southern California after some scary moments at a shopping center in Irvine.Werner said the animal was likely traveling through a flood control channel below Tarzi's home on Del Rey, connecting the beach to Saddleback Mountain.
"It isn't uncommon for them to pass through semi-residential areas using those green belts. It's usually in the evening, early morning hours, that they're spotted," Werner said. Werner said the wildlife area in Orange County and the Santa Ana Mountains is small and isolated because it's surrounded by freeways which mountain lions don't like to cross. That means the animals are pretty highly concentrated in the region."Lions that are getting to the age where they're dispersing from their mothers, that are moving out into different areas looking for their own territory," Werner said.
