Angels Camp, CA \u2014 Reports of mountain lion sightings around the city of Angels Camp have recently increased.<\/p>\n
The PD notes, \u201cIt is not unusual for these animals to travel through residential neighborhoods, particularly those near open spaces. While seeing a mountain lion may be concerning, occasional sightings are to be expected and do not necessarily indicate a threat to public safety.\u201d<\/p>\n
Officials add that feeding wildlife, particularly deer, encourages animals to remain in residential areas. Deer are a primary food source for mountain lions, and attracting deer into neighborhoods can also attract mountain lions.<\/p>\n
Knowingly feeding big game mammals, including deer, is prohibited under California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 251.3.<\/p>\n
The PD adds, \u201cWe ask residents not to feed wildlife. Even when done with good intentions, feeding wild animals can create problems for the animals and surrounding neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
Residents are also encouraged to secure small livestock and pets at night and avoid leaving pet food, livestock feed, or other food sources outdoors where wildlife can access them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Local California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) officers will be conducting additional patrols in Angels Camp following the recent sightings.<\/p>\n
CDFW is the primary agency responsible for wildlife management.<\/p>\n
