The Ben Lomond neighborhood has a large stretch of grassy area behind it. Police said that recent dry conditions are pushing wildlife into areas they would not usually go to while they look for food and water.
HPD said it informed the California Department of Fish and Wildlife about the sighting. Police reminded the public not to approach a mountain lion if there is a sighting.
