Mountain Lion Who Was on the Loose Named Mr. Handsome, Released into Wild On 5/21/21 at 10:56 AM EDT A mountain lion dubbed "Mr. Handsome" that was found in San Francisco earlier this week has been released back into the wild after a check-up. An individual spotted the mountain lion in a tree at around 10 p.m. Wednesday evening, near the Bernal Heights neighborhood of the city. Officials from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) subsequently removed the animal from the area and transported the two-year-old male to Oakland Zoo. Officials used a tranquillizer dart to put the big cat to sleep before bringing it to the zoo.
