Unsuspected Hazards of Research Park

....so they have had mountain lion sightings in and around the parking area at a neighboring building to my work. So...if you ever happen to be visiting Research Park and encounter a mountain lion in a parking lot, you are advised to:

• Do not panic. Most lions will try to avoid confrontation.
• Raise your arms to make yourself appear as large as possible. Lions prefer smaller prey.
• Slowly back away. Never run and never turn your back toward the cougar. Yell at the lion and wave your arms as you back away.
• Do not make direct eye contact. Lions perceive eye contact as aggressive behavior.
• If you are attacked, fight back. Try to prevent the lion from getting behind you.
