A pair of young mountain lions are joining the squad at The Living Desert — including one who made headlines when it entered a school in Northern California earlier this summer. The two mountain lions — Rose and Sage — are coming from the Oakland Zoo, and will arrive in Palm Desert later this week, according to a social media post from The Living Desert on Tuesday. "Rescued separately as unrelated, orphaned cubs, Rose and Sage have earned a place in the hearts of many as the animal care and veterinary team at the Oakland Zoo have heroically cared for these mountain lions over the last five months," the post states.
