In the North Bay, neighbors are on edge after several mountain lion sightings were reported in the past 24 hours.
The most recent sighting was Friday morning in the town of Yountville, where police say a big cat was spotted wandering about 6 a.m. near Madison and Jefferson Streets. There were two other sightings in Sonoma County on Thursday in Petaluma and Cotati.
"I personally did not see it, but I laughed at the video several times. I thought it was pretty cool," McNaughton said.Conservationists believe young mountain lion found dead on San Jose road was likely hit by carThe neighborhood off Myrtle Avenue is located near open space. Cotati Police say its officers spotted the big cat, but it took off and they couldn't locate it again after a lengthy search. Hours earlier, there was another brief mountain lion sighting in nearby Petaluma.
We showed the mountain lion video to Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue Executive Director Doris Duncan. She believes it's a juvenile."A younger mountain lion starting to disperse, kind of like a teenager staying out longer than they're supposed to," Duncan said.
