This was the first time that I'd ever seen a mother mountain lion, her kitten, and a male lion together. This was the mother mountain who had a litter of three kittens. Two had disappeared. The one who was still with her had something wrong with his hind end as you'll see in this video when his hind end falls over. I suspect that he was overstaying his time with his mother because hunting on his own was too difficult.
There are both high pitched and low growling vocalizing. Which lion do you think is making each of those sounds and who are they directed at?
