Um, watch out for those mountain lions...:confused: Certainly not what you expect to see when in SoCal's urban areas...but it does happen...
Mountain lion killed in downtown Santa Monica (http://washingtonexaminer.com/entertainment/travel/2012/05/mountain-lion-killed-downtown-santa-monica/642496)
Police shot and killed a mountain lion that somehow made its way through an urban landscape before it was found early Tuesday in a downtown Santa Monica office building courtyard near an outdoor mall and a bluff-top park that offers tourists views of the ocean and the city's famed pier.
Authorities made multiple attempts to try and subdue the young male cat, including use of a tranquilizer and a pepper ball, before killing it, said Capt. Daniel Sforza of the state Fish and Game Department.
