Things are Holly and jolly at the oakzoo. A rescued mountain lion cub continues to improve and is even (adorably) attempting to growl.
Holly, the mountain lion rescued from underneath a Santa Cruz home earlier this month and currently rehabbing at the Oakland Zoo, is continuing to build strength, even attempting to growl, officials revealed in an update on Tuesday morning.
The update post included a video taken by her keeper which showed Holly unleash — or at least, unleash as best she can — a fierce scream towards the camera.Holly with the fierceness!This mountain lion behavior is exactly the kind we want to see. In addition, she's eating, investigating her new stall, and in true cat fashion, taking naps as she builds her strength.Stay tuned for more updates on her progress.🎥: Keeper Angela pic.twitter.
Zoo veterinarian Dr. Ryan Sadler told the Examiner on Thursday that Holly hasn’t required hands-on treatment for a couple of days, which is a positive sign, and “her last lab results looked good — she is improving.” In addition, she is eating 100% of her meal from a bowl the last few days. A zoo spokesperson added that the mountain lion won’t be released back into the wild because she’s too young to survive there on her own. Cubs need up to two years with their mother to learn the necessary survival skills, which can't be taught in human care. The zoo will likely start searching for a permanent home for her in the next few weeks once she’s fully recovered.
