Three mountain lion kittens, approximately three months old, were rescued in California after losing their mother, who was believed to have been killed by a vehicle. Found wandering nearby, the kittens were taken to the Oakland Zoo where they are now being cared for. Despite their survival, they are unable to return to the wild since they lack the necessary skills. The zoo is seeking a permanent home for the trio, named Fern, Thistle, and Spruce, who were found to be thin yet healthy upon their arrival.
The mountain lion siblings, now named Fern, Thistle, and Spruce, were found to be relatively healthy but thin, having been alone for nearly two weeks.
Authorities suspect that the cubs' mother was killed by a vehicle, but without her carcass, they cannot confirm a DNA relationship.
