Lonely Planet: Hundreds of mountain lions were killed and injured in a forest fire in California, USA
uux.cn According to the Russian satellite network Lonely Planet, hundreds of mountain lions were killed and injured in this year's forest fire in California.
This season of forest fires is particularly ferocious, with fires ravaging several national parks and displacing tens of thousands of animals. In addition, hundreds of mountain lions were killed or injured, and the survival of the population was threatened.
Many mountain lion cubs have lost their parents and been injured. 3 orphan lions are now cared for at Auckland Zoo. One of the lion cubs, nicknamed "Captain Kyle," suffered severe burns from his limbs and is in the process of rehabilitation.
About 15% of mountain lions are affected by forest fires. Panthera, a global wild cat conservation group, estimates that between 300 and 600 mountain lions were killed.
