Carmel Woman Spots Three Mountain Lions (http://www.theksbwchannel.com/news/5538566/detail.html)
Big Cats Seen On Genista Way
CARMEL, Calif. -- A Carmel woman said she spotted three mountain lions outside her home and now she wants to make sure other residents are aware of their presence.
The big cats were seen above High Meadows, near the top of Hatten Canyon. The mountain lions were seen walking down a driveway on Genista Way.
State fish and game officials said it is possible that three mountain lions were spotted together, and that they were likely a mother and her cubs.
Carol Garcia said she spotted the animals about 7 a.m. Sunday. She immediately called neighbors to warn them.
"My whole thing was to contact people and make them aware and especially because there were three -- not two, not one -- there were three of them," Garcia said.
Officials said anywhere there are deer there are likely to be mountain lions, so it is unwise to feed deer near your home. It's also against the law.
Mountain lions have been spotted in the area above Hatten Canyon before, but few people have reported seeing three at a time.
