A University utilities employee spotted what are apparently mountain lion tracks over the weekend near the Stanford Driving Range. Fresh tracks were spotted on trails leading to Lake Lagunita from the campus side of Junipero Serra, according to University spokeswoman Lisa Lapin.

The University urged members of the campus community to be alert when using trails in the early morning or early evening, as the foothills near campus are a known mountain lion habitat.

Signs have been posted in areas where fresh tracks have been reported, according to Lapin. No actual mountain lion spottings have been reported.

Any sightings should be reported to the Department of Public Safety.
