Humane Society presents talk on mountain lions
Runs through Wednesday, June 9th, 2010
Time & Place
7:00 PM
Auditorium at the Peninsula Humane Society at 12 Airport Boulevard - San Mateo, California
San Mateo County residents will have a glimpse into the life of a typical mountain lion at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 9, in the auditorium at the Peninsula Humane Society at 12 Airport Blvd. in San Mateo. Woodside, Portola Valley and parts of Atherton are mountain lion country and, as has been documented more than once in The Almanac, residents have had close encounters. A lion attacked a goat in a Portola Valley back yard in February, only to be scared off by the homeowner. In March, a lion casually strolled up the front steps and through the yard of a Woodside psychotherapist's home while she was in session, with the result that she put up a warning in her waiting room. Lion sightings have been up significantly in The Almanac's circulation area. Does your yard or deck have occasional visits by a tawny 150-pound feline with a vertical leap capability of 12 feet to 15 feet? Do you have questions about living where lions also roam?
The talk, titled "Mountain Lions: Elusive Residents of the Bay Area," is meant to help people understand the role of the big cats in the region's ecosystem.
Yiwei Wang, a humane society volunteer and doctoral student in the Bay Area Puma Project, will present the talk. It will include a brief history of the relationship between people and mountain lions in California, as well as tips on coexisting safely with the animals.
The Humane Society requests a donation of $5. Call Amy Differding at 340-7022, ext. 369, for more information.

Luring mountain lions to learn to live amongst themKALW News | 2011-06-04 One of the Bay Area’s native animals, the mountain lion, goes by many names: puma, panther, cougar, catamount, painter. One of the most apt, perhaps, is “ghost cat,” earned for the animal’s skill at staying out of human sight. That skill has helped to ensure their ongoing survival here. Mountain lions, like grizzlies and wolves, were subjected to hunting bounties in the 20th century in an attempt to eradicate them. Those other predators were extirpated (which in case you were wondering, means “to destroy totally or exterminate”), as were lions from the eastern two-thirds of the United States. But the lions’ continued presence here links us to a past California, wild and rich in biodiversity. Now scientists are studying the Bay Area’s big cats in an effort to bridge the cultural divide between them and us, to make our neighboring habitats safe for all. Erica Gies reports. | |
