A recent study from the Teton Cougar Project has found multiple mountain lions sharing prey in the Gros Ventre River drainage. According to conventional wisdom, mountain lions are solitary animals, expect when breeding and raising young. These researchers have found multiple females and young sharing elk kills and have also noted a male lion in the same location as a female and her kitten. My own experience with bobcats supports what these researchers have seen. I’ve seen multiple male bobcats interacting with females and kittens outside of the breeding season, which the literature says shouldn’t happen.
