Typically, cougars cache their kills, covering the carcass with dirt and debris between feeding bouts. We discovered just such a textbook cache in this willow thicket. Notice that organic debris has been removed in the forground and a heap of sticks, dirt, and leaves has been created in the background. Atop this heap we found a small pelvis. We were at first a little perplexed as to what animal this might have come from.
