Foothill Ranch, CA | South Orange County
A man allegedly has encounter with mother mountian lion when he tries to pet cubs!
Man escapes with lacerations that required stitches, but a Dept of Wildlife authority says the wounds are NOT consistent with a mountain lion aka cougar.
This is a sensitive subject for local residents because mountain lions have killed in the recent past within a mile or two of this location. Authorities have closed the Whtiting Ranch Wilderness Park while they hunt down the lion to relocate it to a wilderness area further South in San Diego County.
Personally, my BS meter is on high alert as this man is known to locals as a homeless man who lives in and around the local shopping center.
File this under “suspicious.”
