“This is a beautiful two year old male mountain lion. He is looking very healthy and has been radio chained by UC Santa Cruz so we know a little about him. He is young so he probably broke up with his mother recently,” said Dr. Alex Herman, vice president of veterinary services at Oakland Zoo.

California Fish and Wildlife crews safely removed the mountain lion found in a tree after someone who parked his car picked it up on Santa Marina Street near Mission Street near the Bernal neighborhood around 10:00 p.m. Wednesday night Heights had discovered.

State officials used an arrow to calm the big cat. Then it fell asleep on the porch under the tree and took him to the Oakland Zoo.

The mountain lion is believed to be the same one spotted Tuesday morning in the Portola and Bernal Heights neighborhoods.

Our vet and zookeeper investigated the mountain lion rescue we received last night. Overall, the 2-year-old man is in excellent health! After his exam and vaccinations, he was sent to @CaliforniaDFW along with our best wishes for release in a safe location in Santa Clara County. pic.twitter.com/wWhMWjhp5a

The mountain lion wore a tracking collar, so it is known to state wildlife officials.

“I think I’ve called him Mr. Handsome several times! That’s the name that came to mind,” she said.

Mr. Handsome was busy. Cameras caught him roaming the streets of San Francisco’s Bernal Heights and Portola neighborhoods, walking next to parked cars, strolling through backyards and even checking someone’s porch.

A spokesman for the Puma project said they fitted him with a tracking device shortly after he was born to study the behavior of mountain lions. They say his long distance travel is normal as he looks for turf to call himself.

Officials will now take him back to the wild and hope he stays there this time.

“Official policy is, I can’t say where he will be released, but he probably won’t go back to Santa Cruz because we don’t want him to come back to San Francisco,” Herman said.

The dismissal of the central bank chief triggers turbulence in Turkey

Turkish currency traders were in poor shape on Monday morning (March 22nd). The country’s lira currency fell to near record lows after the fall of central bank governor Naci Agbal on the shock weekend. He was expelled by President Tayyip Erdogan and replaced by the legislature of the ruling party Sahap Kavcioglu. The new man shares the president’s unorthodox belief that high interest rates can fuel inflation. This, and the apparent political control of monetary policy, are deeply alarming for the markets. Kavcioglu is the third head of the central bank that Erdogan has abruptly appointed since mid-2019. Although he has promised not to take a sharp turn in politics, economists have their doubts. Selva Demiralp is a professor at Turkey’s Koc University: “In the future, this is a significant risk to the credibility, which is why Turkey’s credit risk premium is rising, and although the new governor of the central bank has also signaled that they will emphasize this.” Price stability raises questions because if both emphasize price stability then why was Naci Agbal replaced? “In less than five months of operation, Agbal had hiked interest rates by almost 9 percentage points and regained some credibility for the central bank. Now analysts predict that Kavcioglu will likely reverse these increases, which should support the Turkish capital account and dwindle currency reserves. One of Societe Generale told Reuters that there was “financial turmoil.” Concerns caused European stocks to decline early in trading, with money instead flowing into supposedly safe havens such as German government bonds.
