MAGALIA, Calif. – A mountain lion was caught on camera getting a bit too close for comfort in Butte County.
Jill Vought shared a video showing a mountain lion strolling across her porch.
The footage was captured on her Ring camera at 3:41 a.m. on Wednesday, January 14, 2026.
Vought, who has lived in Lower Magalia for 23 years, said she has never seen a mountain lion this close before.
“Good reminder to folks on the Ridge to keep pets and kids safe,” said Vought.
