The mountain lion was seen Friday morning near 44th and Ulloa streets, in the Outer Sunset neighborhood, the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management said.
“If you see the mountain lion, slowly back away; do not run,” city officials said at the time. “If you have a child with you — pick them up — and keep dogs on leash. If the mountain lion approaches — make yourself ‘big,’ wave your arms, shout, throw something, and again, do not run.”
