2 orphaned cubs are returned to the wild

AFTER being found malnourished and alone as cubs, two mountain lions were cared for and then released.

The cubs, which were found malnourished earlier this year, were trapped by the UC Davis California Carnivores Program and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, according to the San Diego Humane Society.

They were taken to the organization's Ramona Wildlife Center on March 26 for specialized rehabilitation and veterinary care.
