Monrovia was subsequently seen multiple times via trail cameras -walking with a male cat in one instance and appearing to have been healthy -and was able to successfully hunt and kill deer after being released back to the wild, according to the Department of Fish and Wildlife. The mountain lion gained 19 pounds on a diet of deer, rabbit and beef while being treated for “serious burns” to all four of her paws, and was released about 15 to 20 miles from Monrovia, so she was not put back into a fire-damaged area, a spokesman for the state Department of Fish and Wildlife said shortly after her release last October. Mountain lions can live up to 10 years in the wild. She was believed to be roughly 6 or 7 years old at the time she was rescued in September 2020, and was subsequently treated in Sacramento by wildlife veterinarians from the UC Davis School of Medicine and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
This further illustrates that mountain lions can and do live among the communities in San Gabriel foothills,” the Department of Fish and Wildlife said. The first mountain lion to be rehabilitated and returned to the wild in Southern California has been found dead, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife said Friday. “Although a field necropsy was ultimately unable to determine the cause of her death, the data we received from her collar shows that she successfully lived within the urban-wildland interface for nearly a year without ever being involved in human-mountain lion contact.
