• Ring video shows young mountain lion roaming California neighborhood before it is found under a car (thecooldown.com) — Early this morning, a young mountain lion was spotted roaming Hanford neighborhoods before wildlife officers tranquilized it under a parked car and removed it safely.

Residents are relieved no one was hurt, but the incident highlights growing overlap between wildlife and local neighborhoods.
