Rescued mountain lion cub snuggles with ‘perfect plushy’
The Oakland Zoo has shared adorable footage of its newly acquired mountain lion cub snuggling with its favorite toy and comfort item – a plushy stuffed dog.
“The perfect plushy just hits different!” the zoo exclaimed via social media.
Footage shows Briar, who was rescued in early August after being found without a mom in El Dorado County, is shown cozying up to and napping briefly upon the stuffy’s shoulders.
Briar was 4 or 5 weeks old when he was rescued – a search failed to turn up its mom – and will be cared for by the Oakland Zoo until a forever home can be found.
One of the top comments: “Thank you, for everything you’ve done for Briar. I still think of Mama.”
