Cougars, also known as mountain lions or pumas, are large carnivorous mammals belonging to the Felidae family. They are native to the Americas, ranging from Canada down to South America. Cougars are highly adaptable and can be found in various habitats, including forests, mountains, and deserts.
Physically, they are characterized by their tawny, beige-colored fur, long tails, and powerful bodies. Adult cougars can weigh between 64 to 220 pounds (29 to 100 kg) and can reach lengths of up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) including their tails. They are solitary and territorial animals, typically preying on deer, elk, and other wildlife.
Cougars are known for their stealth and agility, making them effective hunters. They primarily stalk their prey before pouncing. They communicate through a range of vocalizations, including growls and screams.
In terms of conservation, cougars are often considered a keystone species, playing a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance by controlling prey populations. However, their habitat has been fragmented due to human activities, and they face threats from hunting and habitat loss.
