This camera trap photo has to be the record for the most pumas photographed at one time, and it makes you wonder how often pumas have conventions.
Read the comments too.
I sure wish deer hunters were a little more enlightened about predator ecology and age specific survivorship.

Wow, that's crazy. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool. I love it when human beings are reminded that they don't know everything!
someone picked the right place to set a cam...
That's not typical is it, or is it? I thought mountain lions were generally thought of as solitary cats. Is it possibly caused by human encroachment, or maybe there's a female cat in heat and she's nearby. Very interesting photos nonetheless. I wouldn't be surprised if a game biologist somewhere is rethinking his population count.
Looks like young from last year's litters. Maybe two litters, which seems odd, unless they were the young of two sisters or a mother and daughter. Female offspring settle near the mother's home range.
We don,t know everything,this has never been documented before to my knowledge,but that many adult size cougars in one place,incredible....
What a sight! Thanks for sharing!
Truly amazing.
The comments are eye-opening, in a shocking kind of way.
