SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Authorities say a mountain lion that roamed residential neighborhoods in Springfield has been sedated and taken to an Indiana sanctuary that houses big cats. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources says the young male was tranquilized by staff with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services branch and sent Friday to the Exotic Feline Rescue Center in Center Point, Indiana. IDNR wildlife experts, Illinois Conservation Police, the USDA and the Springfield Police Department determined the animal had entered areas of the city where he would be a threat to people or property. The animal had wandered to Illinois from Nebraska. It arrived in Springfield on Wednesday.
