In rural Laramie County, Wyoming, a trail camera set up by resident Donald Harris captured a rare sight of a mother mountain lion with three cubs, indicating a successful breeding despite the low survival rates for kittens in the wild. Harris, who consulted a wildlife expert to optimize camera placement, is an advocate for the role of mountain lions in controlling deer populations affected by chronic wasting disease (CWD).
