Mountain Lion Safety - Lassen Volcanic National Park (U.S. National Park Service) Typically, mountain lion sightings occur from a distance and usually around dawn or dusk. However, lions are unpredictable and can be dangerous. Mountain lions are solitary animals, traveling alone except during mating season. They can be seen at any time of the day or night, but are most active at dawn and dusk, corresponding with deer activity. Do not crouch down or bend over. A human standing up is just not the right shape for a lion's prey. Conversely, a person squatting or bending over resembles a four-legged prey animal. In mountain lion country, avoid squatting, crouching or bending over, even when picking up children.
