A young mountain lion that was hit by a car earlier this year has been successfully rehabilitated and released back into the wild, thanks to the efforts of the San Diego Humane Society’s Ramona Wildlife Center and its partners.

The mountain lion, estimated to be about 10 months old, was hit by a car back in January and had been recovering at the center since.
