After being spotted on multiple occasions, the big cat has not been seen since.

Mission Viejo residents have been put on high alert after a mountain lion was spotted prowling near one neighborhood over the weekend, but hasn't been seen since. A team from Helping Out Wilderness Locally, or HOWL, spread out through Wilderness Glen on Monday, hours after the big cat was spotted on two separate occasions. They set up four trail cameras in hopes of getting a glimpse of the cat, which does not have a collar or a tag to help identify it.

'He noticed that a lion had jumped a fence and he was fairly close to it,' said Kyle Werner, a Mission Viejo Animal Services Supervisor. 'They made eye contact and the individual left the area and called 911 and ... the lion had ran away.'Responding animal control officers spotted the lion near the trail in some bushes, where it was laying down and relaxing before they made noises to spook it.They estimated that it weighs around 100 pounds.
