    This video introduced me into wildlife biology, and I think ill want to do it when im older. Ive had a fascination with mountain lions for years, and seeing someone get a job in getting closer and beginning to understand them better, well it makes me want to do it so bad. Thank you for this video.

      If I get a good enough sample, the lab can get an individual ID from the hair. If we ever run into that lion or its relatives in the future, we can match it up to a past record and use that data to see how the overall population is doing
