"A mountain lion was spotted fives times within the past four days on the west side of Santa Cruz and California Fish &amp; Wildlife wardens believe the puma is not dangerous.The most recent sighting happened at 1 a.m. Tuesday when a witness saw the cougar roaming through Lighthouse Field near West Cliff Drive.\u00A0The puma does not pose a threat to public safety because it is not behaving aggressively, wardens said. So far, no one has reported a missing pet.Wardens said the cougar is either young and searching for its own territory, or it's simply lost and confused on how to get out of Surf City.It is definitely not the mountain lion that jumped into an aqueduct in downtown Santa Cruz in May because that cat was tagged with a tracking monitor before it was safely re-released into the wild.Wardens are hoping this mountain lion will soon find its way back into the Santa Cruz Mountains on its own.VIDEO: KSBW's Phil Gomez reportsThe Santa Cruz Police Department received four reports from residents who saw the mountain lion on Friday and Monday in their west side neighborhoods. The cougar was spotted on:200 block California Street300 block of Continental Street300 block of Dufour StreetNeary LagoonA team of police officers, wildlife wardens and experts with the University of California Santa Cruz Puma Project have been trying to find the big cat without success.\u00A0Residents are encouraged to secure pets and small children, and should call 911 if the mountain lion is seen again. Anyone who encounters a mountain lion should not run, but instead make loud noises and waive their arms to look bigger and scare it away.\u00A0"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
