An orphaned mountain lion cub has been rescued and is recovering from injuries after being caught in the Zogg Wildfire in Northern California.

Found in Redding by a firefighter, the 3-to-4-week-old cub was handed over to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) shortly after being rescued. The cub’s paws were badly burned and its whiskers had been seared off.
