[substitute
“bully” for “mountain lion”]
If you encounter a mountain lion:
• Don’t approach it.
• Never turn and run.
• Face the lion and stand upright.
• Try to make yourself look as big as
possible.
• Some ways of looking bigger is [sic]
to open your jacket, hold up your pack or bicycle.
• Throw rocks or sticks at the lion. Yell
and make lots of noise.
• But if you are ever attacked, your best
chance is to stay on your feet and fight back. These tactics
will usually convince the lion that you are not prey and make
it run away.
• Leave the animal an avenue of escape.
• Report any mountain lion observations.

Safety”
