Biologists with the National Park Service recently discovered two mountain lion kittens near Western Malibu, according to a press release.
The kittens, estimated to be about 2 months old, were found in a den close to Circle X Ranch while their mother was away. They became the 23rd and 24th mountain lions to be outfitted with tracking devices as apart of a decade-long study being conducted by biologists from Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
