Recent reports from northern Fairfield detail residents' unsettling encounters with a mountain lion frequenting their neighborhoods. Security cameras captured the animal prowling through yards, with sightings on Orchid Street and in the Laurel Creek neighborhood where it exhibited more aggressive behavior. City officials and California Department of Fish and Wildlife urged caution, emphasizing that mountain lions typically avoid humans but can be active from dusk to dawn. Residents were advised to keep small pets indoors and maintain distance from wildlife as part of safe coexistence.
On both Monday and early Wednesday morning, home security cameras captured footage of a mountain lion wandering through residential neighborhoods, alarming local residents.
Police humorously referred to the mountain lion as a strange visitor, clearly disregarding their 'No Soliciting' sign, wanting to make new friends.
Humane Animal Services advised residents to keep small pets indoors and avoid antagonizing wildlife, emphasizing we share space with large predators.
California Fish & Wildlife authorities reminded residents that mountain lions are most active from dusk to dawn, advising vigilance during those times.
