Marty went back to the rock shelter last night, but now he must go find food for himself if he is to survive. Mountain lion cubs are usually left on their own at about age 2. Marty is young to be left alone and faces the coming winter without Tanya to guide him. He will have to grow up quickly. At least he has his inherited strength, stamina and intelligence on his side. He may never know what happened to Tanya.
