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.

It is rather rare to encounter three healthy mountain lion babies since the kitten survival rate is low. "It was truly a gift," conveyed Denise. The offspring will stick to their mother's side for about 18 months to 2 years. It is during this time period that the mother teaches her babies valuable skills such as hunting, catching, prey selection, stalking, and which areas to avoid.
