ROSAMOND \u2013 A mountain lion spotted in a Rosamond backyard Friday morning was safely removed by state wildlife officers and returned to suitable habitat, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Around 9:30 a.m., the California Department of Fish and Wildlife received a call about a mountain lion near a home on Birch Street, according to Public Information Officer Andrew Hughan.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur dispatch center contacted a warden in the Palmdale\/Lancaster area. They went up, and in the backyard of the house, up in a pine tree, there was a mountain lion,\u201d Hughan said. \u201cThey put a tranquilizer dart into her and secured her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hughan said the two-year-old female weighs about 80 pounds and is in pretty good condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey gave her a quick check up, put her in the back of the truck and returned her to suitable habitat,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe warden thinks that it came out of the Tehachapi Mountains or maybe Tejon Ranch, which would be the nearest suitable habitat for a lion,\u201d Hughan continued. \u201cIt\u2019s a little unusual, but not unprecedented at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
