A mountain lion tracked by biologists in mountains near Los Angeles gave birth over the summer to four healthy kittens, officials said this week.

The National Park Service said Tuesday that the cougar dubbed P-99 delivered the litter last July in the western Santa Monica Mountains.

The kittens, all females, have been named P-109, P-110, P-111, and P-112.

State officials ultimately decided to euthanize P-22 at 9 a.m. Saturday morning due to serious health issues. Here is what we know about the mountain lion and his deteriorating condition.

The big cat suffered a skull fracture, herniated organs and a torn diaphragm, according to Hendrik Nollens, vice president of wildlife health at the San Diego Zoo, where P-22 was euthanized.

The injuries were mostly likely caused by a collision with a car last week, officials said.

"A radio-collared mountain lion known as P-81 was found dead on Pacific Coast Highway near Las Posas Road in the western Santa Monica Mountains after likely being struck by a vehicle, the National Park Service announced Friday.

Officials said California Fish and Wildlife officers collected P-81's body on PCH, and that a necropsy will be performed to confirm the approximately 4-year-old male died as the result of being struck."

The Los Angeles Public Library is offering a limited-edition library card to honor P-22 and feature the importance of natural spaces and biodiversity of wildlife in our shared habitat. Courtesy of Steve Winter and National Geographic, the image on the card pays tribute to P-22, the mountain lion that captured the hearts and attention of Los Angeles and the world for many years. The special-edition card is available at all Los Angeles Public Library locations while supplies last.

They're so cute.

The Simi Hills is now home to three healthy female mountain lion kittens. Their names are P-113, P-114 and P-115.

The mountain lion dubbed P-77 gave birth to the trio that was found last week nestled in a dense patch of poison oak in the hills between the Santa Susana and Santa Monica mountains, according to the National Park Service.

The kittens were about 24 days old when National Park Service biologists discovered their den northeast of Thousand Oaks. Biologists have been tracking mountain lions as part of a 20-year study with the state.

Carrying on the mountain lion study’s format, the kittens were designated with “P” for puma and a sequential number for their birth order.

Oh, and there are more! TWO new families! And they were nesting in poison oak? I guess furry critters aren't affected by the plant?

I wonder whatever happened to P-33, who was the subject of the OP (and your follow-up post). Did she ever have a family?


They need to use even numbers for one gender, and odd numbers for the other, so we know if the babies are male or female. How do the biologists keep track? It would be easier with odd and even numbers.
