However, I IDed it as C2, the second vertebra down from the skull. It was very old.<br /><br />EM: I don't think that they're still nursing. Usually nursing ends during their first summer. In fact, mom and these yearling cubs will part ways in the next couple of months so that mom can breed again.<br /><brKBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905010459077232225.post-55126478244573220682010-04-09T17:04:34.313-06:002010-04-09T17:04:34.313-06:00Hi ya!

They're the only predator I haven't crossed paths with here, so I haven't done much research on them. I also think they worry me less AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851263591445841749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905010459077232225.post-77453611357856959412010-04-09T06:29:46.029-06:002010-04-09T06:29:46.029-06:00Hey KB ~~ came by to catch up with you, the boys a...Hey KB ~~ came by to catch up with you, the boys and the wildlife!!<br />It all looks wonderful and looks like you guys are still having fun!<br />I'm on Tramadol for the back now and it is working great!!
