USA: Colorado's Female Cougars and Their KittensMountain lions are important to a healthy Rocky Mountain ecosystem, with females critical to the long-term survival of the species. But despite the vital role that female lions play, data from the Colorado Division of Wildlife show that 45% of all the lions killed by sport hunters since 1995 were females (1,649 animals).When female lions are hunted and killed, their orphaned kittens typically die from starvation, given that kittens are dependent on their mothers for their first six to nine months of life. Fortunately, things are changing for mountain lions in Colorado?but not quickly enough.
