Recently, a young mountain lion appeared on the streets of San Francisco, California. The local Animal Protection Bureau and the Wildlife Department successfully captured the cougar on the afternoon of June 19, local time. It has been sent to a zoo for inspection and released into the wild if it is no problem.
According to reports, on June 17, the local animal protection bureau received a report that a cougar was walking around the city. The Animal Protection Bureau said the cougar was only about 14 months old. In general, mountain lions follow their mothers until they are 2 years old, and may mistakenly enter the city in the absence of experience.
Fearing that it would not find a way out of the city, whether it would be killed by a car in the city or starving to death due to a lack of food, it decided to round him up.
Deb Campbell, a spokesman for the Animal Protection Agency, said the lion hunting squad did not use sedatives during the arrest, only nets, because the use of sedatives has a high probability of killing young mountain lions. At the same time, he revealed that the cougar has been sent to the Oakland Zoo for professional veterinary examination, and if it is confirmed, it will be released into the wild.
