- If you encounter a mountain lion, do not run — this can trigger a chase instinct.
- Make yourself look as big as possible: raise your arms, open your jacket, and stand tall.
- Make noise by shouting or clapping, and maintain eye contact while slowly backing away.
- If the animal becomes aggressive, throw objects, wave your arms, and fight back if attacked — do not play dead.
- Keep small children and pets close, and supervise them closely in areas near open space or parks.
- Report any mountain lion sighting to San Francisco Animal Care and Control at 415-554-9400, or call 911 in a life-safety emergency.
