Security camera spots mountain lion in Apple Valley neighborhood Victorville Daily Press Sheriff's officials are asking town residents to be on alert after a security camera spotted a mountain lion roaming an Apple Valley neighborhood before dawn on Thursday. Video surveillance captured the wild cat at 3 a.m. near Skyline Ranch Drive and Sitting Bull Road, between Apple Valley and Kiowa roads, according to an Apple Valley Sheriff's Station Facebook post. In situations like this one, town residents who see the animal are asked to call sheriff's dispatch at 760-956-5001 or Apple Valley Animal Control at 760-240-7000. Mountain lion sightings are not uncommon in Southern California or the High Desert. Last year, the Associated Press reported a "baby boom" of sorts when 13 kittens were born to five mountain lions between May and August in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
