Captain Cal is the first Mountain Lion the zoo took in. The Zoo tweeted Captain Cal likely has some fire-related damage to his skin, and some parasites.
Thankfully, Captain Cal remains bright and active, and has a great appetite despite his injuries, the zoo said.
Both females cubs will be introduced to Captain Cal soon.
