Meet the elusive mountain lions of Los Alamos! Hari Viswanathan, an environmental scientist at the Lab, used a motion sensor and DSLR camera to capture these beautiful creatures right in our backyard. 📸 Our Lab biologists collaborate with neighboring agencies, like Bandelier National Monument, to track the mountain lions’ movements with game cameras and radio collars. It's part of a long-term, multi-agency study investigating how large mammals respond to wildfire and forest restoration projects. #MountainLions #WildlifePhotography #LosAlamos
