Mountain lion flehmen response

Last week, this beast of a mountain lion stopped by the latrine area (a spot that multiple cats use for communication, like a big little box). You can see him first respond to the site with the Flehmen response, which helps him smell better, pheromones in particular. He then leaves a urine “scrape”, letting other mountain lions and animals know h was there.
