Kevin Blecha is a Wildlife Biologist with Colorado Parks & Wildlife. His graduate & published work focuses on risk and reward in wildlife feeding behaviours. His research has included looking at the feeding behaviours of mountain lions. In this episode we talk about:
- the typical feeding behaviour of mountain lions (cougars, puma, panthers)
- whether or not mountain lions scavenge and under what circumstances
- caching or burying behaviour of mountain lions
- if scattering, disarticulation or dismemberment could be attributed to mountain lion feeding behaviour
