<p>Our biologists recently ear-tagged these adorable 3-4-week-old kittens as part of our nearly 20-year-long study of how urbanization has affected bobcats in the Santa Monica Mountains and surrounding area. We've been tracking the mom, B255, since 2010 and tagged her kittens while she was away from the den.
</p><p>See the tufts at the top of B327's ears? In addition to different markings on their fur, that's one of the ways to distinguish a bobcat kitten from a mountain lion kitten!
