Watch: Mountain Lion Returns To Los Altos Home
For the fourth time in recent months, a mountain lion was filmed creeping through the same Los Altos backyard, seen on the Neighbors app.
LOS ALTOS, CA —Mountain lion sightings are a rarity for most people, but they're becoming almost routine at one Los Altos Hills home.
Video on the Neighbors app shows a mountain lion creeping through the home's backyard — the fourth such visit its residents have had since October, according to the video's uploader.
Footage of the new visit is nearly identical to a similar incident in December: the big cat can be seen walking to the middle of the yard, seemingly triggering a motion-activated light, before continuing on into the bushes and out of sight.
