Santa Fe Cats "I had never seen a mountain lion," Beach said Friday. "And I never expected to see one on Marcy Street." She was one of many to spot a mountain lion walking around downtown Santa Fe Thursday night and Friday morning. A receptionist at the Santa Fe New Mexican, Beach said the lion walked in front of The New Mexican shortly after 8 a.m., then bolted across Marcy Street and disappeared. "Poor little guy. He was scared," she said, describing the animal as small -- perhaps 100 pounds -- and probably young. "I hope he finds his way home." As far as wildlife officials could tell, the lion might have done just that. And here is some good advice: Do not approach the animal or run away. "Stand your ground and wave your hands up high. Make yourself look big," he said. Thanks Carol. 8:44:44 PM    comment [];
