Written by Inside a small enclosure lined with blankets and surrounded by at least two dozen stuffed animals, 5-week-old Crimson bats and tumbles. Then, he drops low, giving a quick pre-pounce shimmy before springing at his next “victim,” a fuzzy purple dinosaur with yellow hair. “These toys are a temporary replacement for the siblings he unfortunately doesn’t have anymore,” said Amber Foley, Oakland Zoo’s lead keeper. Crimson is a mountain lion cub who was found alone in the Santa Monica Mountains. One of the youngest animals the Oakland Zoo has ever taken in, and likely one of its cutest.
Foley said he has quickly captured attention far beyond the zoo’s walls. “It’s wild, everyone all over social media has really taken to this guy, his story is in the newspapers, has grown a really huge fan following,” she said. His posts, featuring his big blue eyes and fuzzy black spots, have garnered millions of views, with articles in major papers around the country and across the pond. Wildlife officials aren’t sure exactly what happened, but believe his mother may have abandoned him because of missing toes on his hind foot. In the wild, that kind of difference rarely ends well. At the zoo, it means constant care, a bottle every three to four hours, and a furry cloth used as a stand-in for his mother.
