Puma Profiles: P-96

Female
Initial capture date: Feb. 12, 2021

This female mountain lion was captured by NPS biologists in the Simi Hills and is the 96th cat to be included in our study. She appeared to be in good condition and, at the time of capture, was estimated to be about 1 year old.

A GPS radio collar was placed on her and as with all of our study animals, she was given a full workup, which includes biologists taking morphological measurements, attaching an eartag, and collecting blood, hair, and tissue samples for genetic and disease analyses. DNA material collected might also provide a clue to her lineage. On the day of her capture she weighed 59 pounds.
