Two orphaned mountain lion cubs are recovering from injuries at the Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue center in Petaluma, where they will be taking up permanent residence. The female, Kyla, is recovering from a broken front left leg and the male, Kuma, had to have his front left paw amputated.Between 4,000 and 5,000 mountain lions live in California. They are also called cougars or pumas and typically live in hilly terrain roaming within a 15- to 30-mile territory. They are primarily nocturnal. Cubs stay with their mothers for two years while they learn to hunt. They prey mainly on deer and sheep but also other wildlife such as skunks, fish, birds and rodents.
