Cougars

The huge cat known as the cougar (Puma concolor) is indigenous to the Americas. It is the most widely distributed big wild terrestrial animal in the Western Hemisphere, with a range that stretches from the Canadian Yukon to the southern Andes in South America. It is a flexible, generalist species that may be found in the majority of American habitat types. It goes by numerous names, such as puma, mountain lion, catamount, and panther, due to its extensive distribution.


The vast majority of the prey that cougars kill have hooves. Cougars will also hunt on moose if they are present in the same region. Moose will be killed by cougars of both sexes. The female will mostly target young moose between the ages of one and two years old. Even yet, if they have a mother who is watching out for them, this might be dangerous for them. More than any other hoofed mammal, cougar males like to go in search of moose to kill. In the winter, moose may make up more than 90% of a male cougar's diet in Canada's northern areas.


Only mature moose in terrible condition will attract cougar attention. This has been demonstrated by studies looking into the bone marrow of moose that were cougar prey in Alberta. Cougars will spot weak and hungry moose and will typically ambush them to kill them. Typically, the cougar would spring onto the moose's back and attack it in the neck with a vicious and crushing bite.
