The 40-pound mountain lion wandered into an English classroom.
A quick-thinking custodian safely confined a curious young cougar in an empty classroom after it entered a Northern California high school Wednesday morning, authorities said.
The custodian was opening Pescadero High for the school day when the juvenile mountain lion was spotted, said Detective Javier Acosta with the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office. No students or teachers were on campus at the time, Acosta said. "The mountain lion casually walked through campus and decided to go into an English classroom," he said."The custodian acted quickly and managed to shut the door behind it."Photo provided by the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office shows a mountain lion after it entered an empty high school classroom in Pescadero, Calif., on June 1, 2022.The California Department of Fish and Wildlife tranquilized the cat and sent it to the Oakland Zoo for examination.
The underweight male was estimated to be 4 to 6 months old and had a fractured tooth that will need to be extracted before the cat can be released back into the wild, KTVU-TV reported.
