Abstract
Intraspecific aggression among mountain lions (Puma concolor) has been widely documented. While adult females generally have overlapping home ranges included in the range of one or more adult males, females that minimize opportunities for encounters between their offspring and other adults might increase survival of their kittens. This study examines the division of feeding times of cached prey between different social categories of mountain lions to determine if habitat partitioning occurs at this scale.
