In this photo Kate is fitting the collar - a tricky operation. The collar must not be too tight or it will interfere with the cougar's movement and feeding, or it could irritate the skin. Of couse, if it is too loose, the cougar may simply pull it off. Above the photo of Kate fitting the collar are two unsung heroes who assisted Kate that fateful day: Daniel Oros and Beau Van Rankin are shown with the cougar just after the collar was attached. They carried the cougar to a safe area for it to be revived from the immobilization drugs.
