TOPSHOT - Picture released by Aton Chile showing an approximately one-year-old puma in the streets of Santiago on March 24, 2020 which according to the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) came down from the nearby mountains in search for food as less people are seen in the streets due to the coronavirus, COVID-19, pandemic.

Basing on the reports made by local authorities, which was then reported under NBC News, both all the students and workers from California High School were shocked by the unexpected and unannounced visitation of a mountain lion.

As per the Oakland Zoo, the Himalayan lion that found its route inside Pescadero High School in San Mateo District is 6 to 8 months old and most probably an abandoned lion cub.

Just before 8:30 A.M, the youngster was located. A San Mateo District Sheriff 's Station representative stated the incident occurred on Wednesday, while the cleaning crew was prepared to operate the institution.

The San Mateo State police command announced on social networking sites that all pupils as well as employees at Pescadero High School in the municipality of Pescadero were completely secure.

In a tweet, the officials have announced that all employees and investigators were fortunate to confine the puma to a lecture theatre, and that there is zero imminent concern, The Guardian reported.

Furthermore, The US Fish and Wildlife Service was summoned to the school to start removing the puma. According to the state police command, the department is attempting to securely as well as compassionately extract the big cat from the school environment and restore it to its local environment.

A California Division of Fish and Wildlife employee also told the media that the mountain lion is a young puma that has never really harbored resentment. He described it as malnourished and in terrible condition.

Pescadero is a tiny seaside hamlet located around 35 miles south of San Francisco. The zoo claimed it was recovered Wednesday following lunch break and had to be knocked unconscious before apprehension and transfer.

Images obtained by Fox News show the creature alone in the lecture hall, snuggled up beside another work station. According to the state police command, all kids and employees are unharmed.

"Employees and Officers were fortunate to confine the cougar to a school environment, and there is no imminent concern," the sheriff's office said on Newsfeed.

Mountain Lion Locked in a Classroom

It is still unknown how the big cat got inside the school in Pescadero, a little coastal village about 30 miles west of San Jose.

While in the recent post of Times of Nation, the California Bureau of Animal services was summoned, a janitor slammed the entrance of the English lecture hall, locking the cub within. They attempted to let it out on its own, but the big cat really do not want to consider leaving even though it was disoriented and absolutely terrified.

As a safety measure, faculty members and team members were sent back to their own houses for the day, according to the local police station.

The mountain lion will be transferred to a wildlife sanctuary, according to the Oakland Zoo. The creature is also too juvenile to live independently - mountain lions fritter away their initial two years studying from their moms - however, there have been no other mountain lions have been sighted in the vicinity, according to the report.

The mountain lion, a male, is underweight yet generally robust. He was discovered calmly underneath a teacher 's workstation, according to Yahoo report.
