We are conducting surveys, monitoring, and research on cougars (puma, mountain lion) on the Ladder Ranch in south-central New Mexico. Here, cougars are of particular interest given their effects on state-endangered desert bighorn sheep and other valuable big game. These projects are also resources for training and education, most notably through the Cougar Field Workshop.

It seems the flashing camera was too much of a disturbance to this reclining cougar; within a minute it was rubbing its face on the camera (note the white whiskers on the left side of the photo); the next minute it was gone.
