P, pregnant; C,with cubs; Co, courtship. Estimated birth was obtained from the cubs ’ age (days),based on the size ratio between the mother and the cub, according to Van Horn et al. (2015). Since the method states the best estimations are obtained for cubs between 2 and 6 months, ages over 180 days could be less accurate. a This record corresponds to an older cub possibly adopted from another female (not counted in the average litter size): constituting a multi-generational group.
