The Desert Museum traditionally adopts orphaned mountain lions, which have not been suitable for release into the wild. Cruz, male mountain lion, was adopted when he was five and a half-month old. He was found in San Jose, CA in March weighing only 15 lbs. Rescued and nursed back to health by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, but unsuitable for reintroduction into the wild, its adoption by the Desert Museum was arranged through the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
