Encountering a Feasting Mountain Lion: A Wyoming Study
A study in Wyoming examined how mountain lions respond to being disturbed while feeding on carcasses.
Justin Clapp, a large carnivore biologist at the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, sparked the research by reflecting on his own impact on mountain lions.
- Researchers tracked 26 mountain lions in the Laramie Mountain area from 2019 to 2023.
- The study aimed to answer questions about the lions' prey selection, particularly regarding vulnerable ungulates with chronic wasting disease.
"From an ethical standpoint, when we collar animals, we are asking a lot of them,"said Clapp, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Wyoming.
