While seeing a ton of Bobcats on campus at Burton Valley (Go Bobcats!) is commonplace, seeing mountain lions on campus is not.

On Wednesday, a resident reported seeing a small mountain lion roaming on the back of Burton Valley’s campus.

Lafayette Police, the Department of Fish and Game, and some of Burton Valley’s staff set out on a search to ensure the area was clear and safe around 9:50 a.m. By 10:15 a.m., Lafayette Police reported that the area was safe and clear, and students were able to leave classes and get back to recess.
