FP-191


FP-191 was first collared on February 26, 2011 in the northeastern Turner River Unit. She was known to be 12 years of age because she had been marked with a transponder as a kitten (K-56) at the den of Texas female 107 in February 1999.  Her father was FP-79. Her littermate was K-58, aka FP-93


Two offspring, one male and one female, estimated to be dispersal age, were also treed on February 26, 2011 and tracks suggested that there might have been 3 offspring with her. 

She denned in March 2012 and we marked one male kitten.

She returned to the den but lack of den attendance indicated that the kitten had died. She denned again in June 2012 and we marked 1 female kitten. 

07-11-2012 FP-191 DEn K-372

Her home range during the reporting period was 117 km2 in the Turner River Unit. 



On February 13, 2015 her body was recovered from under about a foot of water in a cypress dome.  Tracking flights had showed her to be in this location for more than a week but her collar had not gone into mortality mode. The cause of death could not be determined because of the amount of decomposition.
