Trail Camera Catches A Female Mountain Lion And Her Adorable Cub

Denise M. Peterson is the founder of the Utah Mountain Lion Conservation. She had recently observed a female and male mountain lion spending time together in the area while she was monitoring the trail cameras in the Utah Wilderness. Denise could not help being hopeful about seeing a baby mountain lion in the future and was waiting months for this occasion.

Denise's caption on Facebook read, "Yesterday's camera check came with a delightful surprise." According to estimations of The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, there are around 2,500 mountain lions living in Utah. Yet, it is hard to pinpoint an exact number because these creatures are known for being elusive. Denise also expressed that there was a lot of hunting taking place in the region, thereby leading to a decline in the mountain lion population.
