LOS ALTOS, CA — A mountain lion was recorded walking slowly through the yard of a Los Altos Hills home overnight, as seen on video on the Neighbors app. The big cat can be seen walking into the center of the yard, seemingly triggering a motion-activated light, before disappearing back into the shadows after less than 10 seconds.

A mountain lion sighting in November shut down several hiking trails in Rancho San Antonio Preserve, near Los Altos.
