Discovering Mountain Lion Kittens in Grand Canyon National Park

Biologist Eric York could tell the kittens had been in the area. He pointed out the stomped-down earth and exposed soil, and picked up a small piece of fur. Eric showed us how the kittens could have used the site and where they might hide. Then he called out, "Oh, yikes, there's one in here!"

The litter had retreated into the back of the den. We crawled on our bellies about 5 feet into a den barely 10 inches high. Lying in the dirt, I started the video camera. Through the viewfinder, I saw a ball of fur and bright blue eyes. Read more and see photos at: http://www.nps.gov/grca/naturescience/puma-discovering.htm
