Say Hello! to P19, the male offspring of P1, Sonoma's Super Mama and P5, the resident male in the area. The Living with Lions team captured and collared P1’s 13-month-old offspring on Wednesday evening. Now known as P19, the young male looked healthy and well cared for by his mom. We’re grateful to have had a chance to collar him before he disperses. Our team on this collaring event included: Director and Principal Investigator Quinton Martins, veterinarian Graham Crawford, Bouverie Resource Ecologist Jennifer Potts, Research Associate Alex Hettena, and Research Technician Sheila McCarthy.
P19 marks the third of P1’s cubs (from three different litters) that we have collared. It was terrific to meet him again at close proximity after seeing him and his sibling for the first time...
