mountain lion

Two mountain lions that were orphaned as cubs have been released back into the San Diego County wilderness.

A 3-year-old mountain lion, the mother of two cubs, was struck and killed by a vehicle on State Route 74 in Orange County, according to the UC Davis California Carnivores Program.

When Bennet Tarlow, an influential Orange County developer, is found eviscerated by a mountain lion in Caspers Wilderness Park, homicide detective Lew Gale — a former Marine sniper — is sent to track and kill the predator.

Most previous bears were located in the Santa Susana Mountains as the park service trapped them while studying mountain lions.
