I visited some cams that are usually impossible to get to at this time of year due to deep snow. I thought that there would be nothing on them because bears are usually their subjects - and they are asleep.
Much to my delight, a mother mountain lion was in the area with her three kittens in December. I believe that the mother had cached a meal nearby, and the family spent a couple of days eating it.
One fun feature of this video is the vocalizations by the mother and by the kittens. Be sure to have your sound on! And, check out the kitten scaring himself by breaking the ice on a puddle.
Seeing mountain lion kittens is a rare treat. Check out the video to see some!
oooh how fabulous they are... I bet a lot of people have the same first thought: want one ;O)
ReplyDeletei would never have guessed that sound was a lion... I want to squeeze one of the kittens. yes, I know I can't but I want to... LOVE the cats, also LOVE the sun pointing to the small plant in the snow and those gorgeous birch trees, and the tiny pine that Beau would scratch him back on the lower limb. there is more to this video than cats for sure... keep them coming

A great delight to see this family, and the kittens, love the way they wade through the snow, a the little meow./chirp? I wonder what they were saying.
ReplyDeleteAw, what a great video of mom and her babies. It made me smile and I hope you get more of them too.
