This Momma cougar was moving her baby out of the sunlight. Notice how lean she is. Nursing is hard on her. She had 3 babies but one was lost due to an unfortunate event. We wanted her in the sun for the photos but she was on a mission to get into the shade. She remained very tolerant indeed. She let me hold her babies while she was being held by the trainer. My hubby Chuck was in charge of taking the promo photo and I kept saying, "Hurry! hurry! Take the photo!" The batteries were going.....the momma was slipping.....I was just a little worried!
