Parks Canada researchers have captured an amazing image of a mother cougar and her cubs. We would like to offer you the opportunity to develop an original story about this elusive animal that will surely spark your audience's interest.

This rare image, captured by motion-sensitive cameras in Alberta's Waterton Lakes National Park, offers an extraordinary glimpse of the lives of a mother and her cubs that most will never see and we would like to share this with Canadians to increase awareness about this fascinating creature.

The manager of Resource Conservation in Waterton Lakes National Park is available to speak with you about this exciting new image and the work his team does at Parks Canada.
