Mountain Lion Rescued By Fire Volunteers In California
- 9 years ago
Volunteers were working to rescue domestic animals from the threat of wildfires, but extended their kindness to a young mountain lion as well.
The wildfires currently tearing through California are taking a toll on local wildlife.
A young mountain lion was rescued by Butte Fire volunteers as they attempted to evacuate domestic animals in Calaveras County on September 14th.
The kitten appeared emaciated and injured as crews found it walking around the area they were working.
In the state the cat was found, it was apparently easy to capture.
The baby lion was first taken to a local veterinarian and is currently receiving care from a state veterinarian with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife at the Wildlife Investigation Lab in Rancho Cordova.
