A young mountain lion has been spotted in #SanFrancisco on Market near Front St. This as a very young animal - much smaller and younger than mountain lions usually are when they disperse and explore new territory. The photo shows a different cub about the same age. 1/4 
It's likely the mountain lion is confused and lost, and will soon find its way south and out of San Francisco. If you see the mountain lion - do not go near it. Give it a wide berth, slowly back away while facing the lion, do not run!, and call us 415-554-9400. 2/4
If you have a child or small dog with you - pick them up. If the mountain lion approaches - make yourself 'big' wave your arms, shout, throw something, back away slowly while facing the animal, and do not run. We are monitoring the situation and consulting with experts. 3/4
Please remain vigilant, use caution when outdoors, and call Animal Care & Control to report a sighting: (415) 554-9400. If assistance is needed after hours, please call the San Francisco Police Department. 4/4
