For the first 18-24 months of life, a mountain lion kitten stays by its mother’s side, learning the skills necessary to survive in the wild. Born blind and weighing just one pound, kittens start their journey nestled in a hidden den. As they grow, their mother provides food, protection, and, most importantly, lessons in the art of being a predator.By the time they’re a few months old, they begin following her on hunts, observing how she stalks, waits, and strikes with precision.

Mountain lion kittens typically stay with their mother for about 18 to 24 months. During this time, the mother teaches her young how to hunt, navigate territory, and avoid danger. The length of time can vary based on factors like prey availability, the presence of other predators or competing mountain lions, and the safety of the environment. If prey is abundant and conditions are favorable, a mother might keep her kittens longer to ensure they’re fully prepared to survive independently. However

Last fall, we shared a video of two of our Mountain Lion Kittens, and everyone loved the video! Our Mountain Lion Kittens are generally born each year in the springtime during the warmer months. They’re set to arrive soon, and before they’re born, we wanted to share a few facts about these kittens! Female Mountain Lions begin breeding at two years old once they’ve established their territory. They gestate for around 13 weeks, and their litters consist of 2-4 kittens.

Two new litters of mountain lion kittens have been born in the eastern Santa Susana Mountains, and they’re the stars of a new video released by the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. The five kittens — two females in one litter, and two males and another female in the other — have been ear-tagged. They're believed to have the same father, whose radio collar showed him visiting with the two mothers before they gave birth this spring. Read KTLA's story here: http://on.ktla.com/Umeuw
