Wildlife officials in San Francisco captured a young mountain lion that was spotted roaming the streets of the city.

Authorities issued a warning to residents late on Monday, saying a mountain lion had been seen walking the streets in the Pacific Heights neighborhood and advised people to slowly back away from the animal if they encountered it.

They said on Tuesday morning the wild feline had been located, and later managed to capture the animal. The San Francisco Chronicle reported the mountain lion had been tranquilized and will be released into the wild.
