| Prolonged scavenging by a female mountain lion in northeastern Oregon | |
| 2000 Northwestern Naturalist (81): 63-65 | |
Reports of scavenging by mountain lions (_Puma concolor_) are uncommon. The rarity of documented scavenging has contributed to the common belief that mountain lions eat only prey the have killed themselves. We documented a period of prolonged carrion feeding by an adult female mountain lion in northeastern Oregon while conducting a 2-yr study of mountain lion predation rates. |
