This little cub is lucky to be alive. Firefighters found the orphaned mountain lion cub while fighting the Zogg Fire in Northern California. He was brought to the Oakland Veterinary Hospital, where veterinarians from the Oakland Zoo are treating him for severe burns. His

whiskers were completely singed off, and his eyes were irritated from the smoke. They estimate the cub is between four and six weeks old and weighs less than four pounds, but his caretakers say he seems like a fighter. I first took a quick look at him; they

had him in a cardboard box, and it was—he was alert and feisty. He hissed and snarled at me, and so that gave me hope that he was, you know, maybe okay. He's also eating well and never refuses a syringe of formula.

The wildfires on the West Coast aren't just taking homes from humans; wildlife is also being decimated as the fires continue to burn. Experts say lion cubs usually stay with their mothers until they are two years old, which is how long it takes for them to

develop the skills they need to survive in the wild. So, once this cub recovers, he will be sent to a suitable home where he can live out his days happily. I'm certainly hopeful after seeing him, and we look like he's getting really good care and a little bit of pain relief,

antibiotics and fluids and some food, and so we'll see how he does. For Inside Edition Digital, I'm Nara Montalbano. You
