"Oceanside's Recent Mountain Lion Sightings End in Tragic Car Accidents"

A mountain lion was found dead in Oceanside after being hit by a car, following sightings in the city earlier in the week. It's unclear if it's the same lion. Residents are warned to be on the lookout for mountain lions, and should not approach or disturb them. A human wildlife conflict specialist explains that mountain lions prefer mountains and use wildlife corridors to access urban areas. Encounters with humans are rare, but precautions should be taken when in mountain lion country. Mountain lions can cover large ranges, and modern technology is leading to increased wildlife sightings. Pet owners are advised to avoid attracting wildlife to their homes.

"Mountain Lion Sightings in Downtown Oceanside: Recent Developments"

A mountain lion spotted in downtown Oceanside earlier in the week is suspected to have been killed in a traffic collision on Friday night, according to the San Diego Humane Society and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The animal was seen on surveillance footage and by a janitor at a local cinema before the collision. While it's not definitively confirmed to be the same mountain lion, wildlife experts note that these creatures often linger or return to urban areas. The killed animal was identified as a younger male likely seeking territory away from its natal home range. Residents are urged to report any mountain lion sightings to the Oceanside Police Department.
