- Title Mountain Lion Released Back Into Habitat After Being Spotted Patrolling San Francisco Streets
- Summary A mountain lion was returned to its natural habitat after being spotted in the busy streets of San Francisco. The footage was captured by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife on January 29th, in California, United States. Sightings of the wild animal were first reported on January 27th, in the Pacific Heights neighbourhood of San Francisco. CDFW biologists and San Francisco Zoo veterinarians successfully immobilised the animal and safely escorted it to a suitable habitat. Evaluating the mountain lion’s health, they concluded the male lion weighed 77 lbs and was estimated to be around two years old. Spanning more than 1,000 square miles, the mountain lion was released into the Santa Cruz Mountains. The animal can be seen quickly sprinting out of its cage and into the woods.
