Tranquilized mountain lion falls from Idaho tree, video shows. See what happens next

A young male mountain lion plunged from a tree after if it was tranquilized in southeastern Idaho, a video shows.

The animal had roamed into a neighborhood in Pocatello on April 18, the city police department said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

It was then spotted in a tree, police said.

Police responded to the area until Idaho Fish and Game arrived.

Wildlife officers darted the animal with a tranquilizer and waited below the tree with a tarp.

A video shows the animal nosedive from the tree, then land onto the tarp.

The healthy mountain lion was given a reversal drug to “help the lion recover,” wildlife officials said in a Facebook post.

It was removed from the area and released back into the mountains outside the city, another video shows.

Pocatello is about a 235-mile drive southeast from Boise.
