Authorities tranquilized the big cat, which was not wearing a tracking collar, and will release it back to its native habitat
A mountain lion was captured in Simi Valley early Thursday, but officials say it is not the same cat that attacked two dogs — killing one — last week in the city.
Officials with the Simi Valley Police Department and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife responded to reports that a mountain lion was attacking a raccoon in the backyard of a home on Broadmoor Avenue shortly after 5 a.m., Cmdr. Steve Shorts said. Authorities tranquilized the cat, which was not wearing a tracking collar, and bound its legs before putting it in the back of a truck. The animal will be collared and then released back to its native habitat, officials said.
“Living in this region, people frequently see evidence of cats in the area,” he said. “I can’t remember a time when we’ve had two come into separate neighborhoods in such a short period of time. I don’t know what’s going on over there.”
