Mountain lion P-54 has given birth to what scientists believe to be her first litter, three [murder cat] kittens that may bring genetic diversity to the area, officials announced June 2, 2020. National Park Service (NPS) researchers found the litter after noticing GPS locations.... More than four months ago, she was “located” on GPS with P-63, the only collared adult male in the mountains, for two days.
Biologists found three healthy kittens: two males, which were named P-82 and P-83, and one female, P-84.

The scientists tagged the trio, estimated to be 19 days old at the time, and took DNA samples for genetic testing, NPS said.
The litter is thought to be the first fathered by P-63, which researchers captured and collared with his mother in Feb. 2018 north of the 101 Freeway in the Simi Hills of northern LA. He was about 15 months old at the time. More
