Puma Profiles: P-106

Female
Initial capture date: Aug. 3, 2022


P-106 was captured on Aug. 3, 2022, in the Santa Susana Mountains, weighed 91 pounds, and is estimated to be about 6 years old. Biologists noticed that she has a tail kink, possibly indicating a genetic abnormality. This is likely the same kinked-tail mountain lion our biologists picked up on remote cameras in the same area a couple years ago. We are excited to follow P-106 in the northern part of our study area and learn where her home range is and who she may be related to.
