(I apologize for the poor quality - it's a cheap trail camera, and was coming off of a pretty wet winter...)

Second time around after Dan-O posted, the cougar video loaded. Nice video...weird glitch.

I.e. I came across the fresh tracks of three adult cougars where they crossed a logging road together in two inches of fresh snow. Season was not open but I tracked them for curiosity. By the time I had followed them 300 yards I noticed a pattern. One track followed the most efficient route up the gentle ridge, while the other two weaved back and forth, going to the right to sniff a stump, going left of the route to scratch a log, walking more steps, checking out more things, showing more curiosity and energy. Also, by then I could not measure for sure but something about the more straight line track looked a trace bigger or looked somehow more mature. I concluded that it was a mama lion and two youngsters who were as big as their mom. I could be wrong.
Also tracked three lions off and on for five miles up a valley last year: a big track, an average adult track and a smallish adult track. The mid sized track stayed within 30 yards of the big track while the smaller one seemed to follow the others at least 50-75 yards to one side. I am not sure but suspect a big male was courting a female who had just kicked out her young adult kitten, and the kitten was following them, maybe hoping his mother would return to him.
Re the video: I wish we could see the inside of the legs better but in slow mo it looks to me like the second lion has faint spots or a band inside his front leg, a mark of a young adult

And this still from another trail camera in the area, from Friday (so at least one is still in the area):

Probably won't get out again during that time, regrettably. Called for a bit while I was up there yesterday, nothing interesting responded, but I'm a complete newbie and it's highly likely I'm doing something wrong...
