Our friend Wally Sykes at NORTHEAST OREGON ECOSYSTEMS sent these pics that were taken by a trailcam in East Central Washington State...............They appear to reflect two Cougar families congregating together..............Photoshopped are these pics or are they real?..............As we know, female Cougars with kittens are highly territorial............will fight to the death an encroaching male................and the Science states that adult females might slightly overlap their respective territories but communally conngregate as the pics depict?????????????????????

Hey Rick - was sent these remarkable pix from east central Washington, within 30 miles of Soap Lake. Unusual, I am told, for so many cats to be in one place, but I figure it was 2 related females with their cubs. Wally
