Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff shares video of mountain lion, says it was outside his SF home

While most San Francisco residents would be frightened to spy a mountain lion casually crossing in front of their home, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff seemed to take the sighting in stride.

Benioff shared a video of what appears to be security footage of a mountain lion on a city sidewalk, outside his Pacific Heights home near the Presidio.

"A San Francisco Mountain Lion just walked in front of my house," Benioff tweeted Saturday morning, sharing the video via YouTube and his Twitter account.

The CEO tagged the video #trailhead and #AppyDF, referencing the upcoming Dreamforce conference held at the Moscone Center from Monday-Thursday.

Coincidentally, the mascot for the company's AppExchange is a cat or mountain lion of some sort, sporting glasses and a park ranger outfit. The cat is one of the company's "Trailhead" characters and goes by the name "Appy," popping up in advertising for this year's Dreamforce.

The Twitter account for Salesforce's AppExchange seemed to take a positive outlook on the mountain lion sighting and shared Benioff's tweet, calling the sighting "a sign."

SFGATE reached out to the National Park Service and San Francisco Animal Care and Control, to see if others have reported a mountain lion sighting in the Presidio area, and will update if we hear back.
