Cool Facts About Cougars
Cougars, also known as mountain lions or pumas, are fascinating wild cats with some impressive abilities. For example, they are incredible jumpers and amazing hunters.
While they cannot roar like lions, they can make a range of vocalizations, including calls that sound like a human screams.
Here are some cool facts about cougars:
Where Do Cougars Live?
Typically, cougars inhabit mountainous or rocky areas, but they can also be found in various environments, such as coniferous forests and swamps. They create their dwellings in natural cavities or gaps within rocks or seek refuge in other shelters, including trees or overhanging banks.
At present, cougar populations that are capable of breeding are restricted to only sixteen states:
Furthermore, cougars are also found in Canada and other countries. The cougar species has a broad distribution, covering extensive regions of North, Central, and South America. It is presumed that cougars in Ontario inhabit the northern part of the region due to the isolation of the habitat.
What Do Cougars Eat?
Fully grown cougars usually hunt for animals like deer, elk, moose, mountain goats, and wild sheep, with deer being the most common target. Younger cougars tend to hunt for smaller animals like raccoons, coyotes, rabbits, hares, and small rodents.
In some cases, cougars may attack and prey on pets or livestock, such as goats, sheep, and chickens.
