“Mountain lions aren’t like their African lion cousins. They don’t travel in packs or prides. Instead they tend to be solitary creatures.
When a problem lion is trapped and relocated to a new area in the remote woods, the problem is there is usually a resident lion already living in the area. Unless the new lion is strong enough to drive out the resident lion it will probably be killed or forced to roam and seek its own territory.
The Department of Fish and Wildlife (DWF) has established a policy where it won’t relocate a mountain lion, but if it poses a threat to humans or kills livestock the DFW will destroy the lion."
This is a cartoon lion so no worries, but still a sad thought to think of.
Not good. Poor thing.
