HESPERIA, California, United States — Firefighters have rescued a very big cat — a mountain lion — from a tree outside a home in the Southern California desert. The homeowner called authorities Saturday after spotting the animal near the edge of the San Bernardino Mountains. ADVERTISEMENTSan Bernardino County firefighters found the large mountain lion perched on a branch about 50 feet (15 meters) high. State Department of Fish and Wildlife Warden Rick Fischer says it’s not uncommon for mountain lions to wander outside their habitat in the nearby mountains. Attacks on humans are rare but the big cats will prey on pets and livestock.
