First cubs reported in the study area - UPDATE May 25, 2025
SallyAnn's cubs
Word came a day ago that the first cubs seen in the study area were three cubs born to 7-year-old Sallyann. Today a picture arrived showing two of their cute faces. The cubs are still of unknown sex and not yet named, but they make eight generations in Shadow’s clan along the lineage of Shadow, Blackheart, Donna, Shannon, Star, Vonnie, Sallyann, and the three cubs. They are Sallyann’s third litter. More soon.
