A couple of weeks ago, we told you the story of Rose, an emaciated mountain lion cub brought to the Oakland Zoo. You might be wondering how she's doing. The zoo took the video above a week ago, which shows Rose still a bit scruffy and reticent, but she had gained four pounds in a week! Now, after another week, Rose is looking much better.
Rose is still gaining weight and is even starting to roar! Now the zoo is planning for her future. She will never be able to live in the wild again, so her best hope is to find a zoo or wildlife park that can take her, as the Oakland Zoo is at capacity for mountain lions. We will update you as Rose continues her recovery.
