After the canines alerted their proprietor to one thing amiss and he or she noticed a bunch of fallen leaves across the base of her tree, Bubenheim investigated.
“I checked, and I regarded up, and I assumed, ‘it’s larger than a squirrel, may be a possum,’” Bubenheim instructed native information. “[But then] I assumed, ‘that is furry; it seems like a German Shepard, however a German Shepard doesn’t stand up the tree.’ After which it regarded down; it was a mountain lion.”
The Woodland Hills neighborhood borders the Santa Monica Mountains in Los Angeles’s San Fernando Valley. Mountain lions present up sometimes, however not usually sufficient that Bubenheim had cause to suspect a cougar can be hanging out in her tree that afternoon.
“I assumed I’m the one cougar in the home,” she joked with the reporter from NBCLA.
After calling wildlife authorities, Bubenheim waited a number of hours whereas the mountain lion lounged in her tree, then casually left with out human intervention. Authorities went door to door within the neighborhood warning residents of the cougar’s presence and advising them to maintain pets inside.
