PIONEER, Calif. —

Home surveillance video captured five mountain lions traveling together in Amador County.

Mountain lions are normally solitary and elusive. They also make sure to avoid humans, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The video, captured along Stephanie Way in Pioneer, which is east of Jackson, shows the five big cats walking onto a driveway and then crossing the street. The video was taken at Chris Bruetsch’s home.

His neighbor, Don Gall, said residents see all kinds of animals – deer, wild turkeys, bobcats, coyotes – in the area. But, he has never seen so many mountain lions together.

I doubt anyone has seen this many mountain lions together with the naked eye.

Litter cubs ? Seems like too many.

A remote mountain town with 1000 people. This isn't downtown LA.

Yeah... about that...

They used to say that about domestic cats and recently scientist have been belatedly realizing they were wrong.

We’re not too far away from the day when we’ll be like the natives of old....we’ll cower in our shelters and fear going outside due to all the predators....courtesy of the radical leftists.

I have seen three fully grown cats together.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I agree.

[Spktyr]

I dunno, if some of the videos I’m seeing are any trend, we might have some of them as friends. Some, not all or even most. I mean, it would be amazing to have a friendly-to-you cougar hanging around when door to door salesmen, solicitors or Mormons show up and don’t take no for an answer.
