Winter's Orphans: The Search for a Family of Mountain Lion Cubs, a True Story Book

In the winter of 1991, a nursing mountain lion was shot and killed by a resident of a community near Boulder, Colorado, as she foraged for food on his property. After days of intensive tracking and searching, her four orphaned cubs were found. They were captured by wildlife biologists and raised in captivity. Striking watercolor paintings illustrate this true story.

The author, a wildlife biologist, describes how he helped find the orphaned cubs of a mountain lion shot near his home in Colorado and how the cubs were cared for until they could be released back into the wild.
