Mountain Lion Spotted Near Castroville | San Antonio News

A mountain lion may have been spotted near Castroville, Texas—just outside San Antonio—prompting local officials to issue a safety alert. While details are still emerging, experts urge residents to stay vigilant: keep kids supervised and pets leashed, especially in natural areas. If you encounter one, don’t run—stand tall, make noise, and appear larger. Though mountain lions are typically shy, sightings like this help wildlife officials track populations. This year, Texas has seen around 40 reports; last year, 63. If confirmed, this would be Medina County’s third sighting this year—its last was in May. Every report, even unconfirmed ones, helps protect both people and wildlife. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
