New lion sighting in Woodside, tracks at Stanford

These cats only come out at night, right? No one plays golf at night. Nothing to worry about. Must be a slow news day.

Hard to feel much sympathy for golfers. I hope this lion stays safe.

Nighttime, the article clearly says that dawn and dusk are active times for lions. Nice times to go for stroll on the golf course, if you live therabouts. But--and it's a big but--if lions get hungry, they'll go in the day time as well.

Hmmm, I like lions, but your comment made me repeat your pseudonym several times.

We all need to stay safe, but I have no love for golf courses. It's easier for golfers to play elsewhere to stay safe, if they have a concern.

They are getting closer and closer to us. One of these days someone will get killed by these beasts. And then all the goody-goodies will vanish and nary a comment will be written as to how we should stay indoors and not go out at night. Is that why we live here, to be locked up because of predators roaming among us?

Who is getting closer to who? They were here long before the white man. If there is any change in their hunting patterns, it is probably caused by selfish people fencing and clear cutting the foothills.

Don't know why a sighting is news? Unless perhaps increasing numbers of sightings is indicative that they're losing their fear of people.

They don't only come out at night.

Per the above link--- most of the attacks seemed to have occurred during daylight hours.

The golfers just need to tether two golf clubs together and make one long skinny version of Numchucks. Practice swinging while they walk from hole to hole. :)

I live on Raymundo, not far from where this "sighting" occurred.
I don't doubt that there are cougars in the area, though I've never seen one in the 40 years I've lived here. Some neighbors swear they have seen one.

Some people panic when they see anything furry moving fast. It is more likely what was sighted on Raymundo was a big furry coyote. There are quite a few of those in our area, including one "pack" that lives nearby.

Now, footprints would be another matter! Or a photo!
