Mountain lion warning issued for foothills

Officials today warned residents of recent mountain lion sightings in the neighborhoods surrounding the Verdugo Mountains in Glendale.

Two mountain lions were reported on Lockerbie Lane, with a previous sighting near El Lado, according to a notice posted today by Glendale city officials.

Officials said the mountain lion sightings may be a result of the ongoing drought and the destruction wrought on their habitat by the massive Station fire. They advised residents to call 9-1-1 if they see a mountain lion that may pose a threat to people or pets.

The Pasadena Humane Society, which provides animal control services for Glendale, would be posting notices in the Whiting Woods area, according to the announcement.
